Received Received - Intake
Server-Side Request Forgery in WP Meta SEO Plugin

Publication date: 2026-06-24

Last updated on: 2026-06-24

Assigner: Wordfence

Description
The WP Meta SEO plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Server-Side Request Forgery in all versions up to, and including, 4.5.18 via the 'new_link' parameter. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to make web requests to arbitrary locations originating from the web application and can be used to query and modify information from internal services. The HTTP response status from outbound requests is reflected back in the AJAX JSON response as status_code, providing an enumeration oracle usable for probing internal hosts and cloud metadata services.

Executive Summary

The WP Meta SEO plugin for WordPress has a Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability in all versions up to and including 4.5.18. This vulnerability exists via the 'new_link' parameter.

An authenticated attacker with contributor-level access or higher can exploit this flaw to make the web application send requests to arbitrary locations. This allows the attacker to query and modify information from internal services.

Additionally, the HTTP response status from these outbound requests is reflected back in the AJAX JSON response as status_code, which can be used as an enumeration oracle to probe internal hosts and cloud metadata services.

Impact Analysis

This vulnerability can allow an attacker with contributor-level access or higher to make the web application send requests to arbitrary internal or external locations.

Such unauthorized requests can be used to query and modify sensitive information from internal services that are normally inaccessible from outside.

The attacker can also use the reflected HTTP response status as a way to enumerate and probe internal hosts and cloud metadata services, potentially leading to further exploitation or information disclosure.
