Unauthenticated API Quota Abuse in EmbedPress Plugin

Publication date: 2026-10-14

Last updated on: 2026-10-14

Assigner: WPScan

Description
The EmbedPress WordPress plugin before 4.6.8 does not perform any capability or nonce check on an unauthenticated request that triggers a server-side, credential-bearing request to a third-party API and stores attacker-controlled cache entries, allowing unauthenticated attackers to consume the site owner's third-party API quota and write unbounded records into the site's database.
