Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · moderate confidence

Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability in Edwiser Bridge plugin allows an attacker to induce the server to make requests to arbitrary destinations by manipulating input parameters used in server-side request functions. This can lead to internal service enumeration, cloud metadata exposure, or pivot attacks.

MitigationUpdate Edwiser Bridge to the latest patched version. If no update is available, implement strict allow-listing of permitted URL destinations and validate all user-supplied URLs before use in server-side requests.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Locate Edwiser Bridge plugin installation
    In WordPress admin, navigate to Plugins > Installed Plugins and look for 'Edwiser Bridge' in the list. Alternatively, check the wp-content/plugins/ directory for a folder named 'edwiser-bridge'.
    Affected if The plugin is installed and active
  2. Identify installed version number
    In WordPress admin, go to Plugins > Installed Plugins and click on 'Edwiser Bridge' to view the version number displayed in the plugin details. Alternatively, check the main plugin file header in wp-content/plugins/edwiser-bridge/ for the 'Version' field.
    Affected if The version is less than 3.0.8 (for example, 3.0.7, 3.0.6, etc.)
  3. Confirm plugin is actively processing remote requests
    Check the plugin settings at Settings > Edwiser Bridge or within the Edwiser Bridge menu options. Look for any configuration that involves importing courses, connecting to external Moodle instances, or fetching remote data that accepts a user-supplied URL.
    Affected if Remote request features are enabled and configurable with custom URLs
  4. Verify plugin file integrity
    If possible, compare the plugin files against a known clean installation of the same version, focusing on files that handle HTTP requests (typically in includes/ or class files within the plugin folder).
    Affected if Modified or unexpected files exist in the plugin directory

A user is affected if Edwiser Bridge is installed with a version lower than 3.0.8 AND the plugin or its settings allow user-supplied URLs to be used in server-side requests.

Upgrade available Upgrade to 3.0.8 or later
Fixed in 3.0.8
Interim mitigation

Update Edwiser Bridge to the latest patched version. If no update is available, implement strict allow-listing of permitted URL destinations and validate all user-supplied URLs before use in server-side requests.

Recommended fix Moderate confidence

3.0.8

  1. Log in to the WordPress admin dashboard
  2. Navigate to Plugins > Installed Plugins
  3. Locate the Edwiser Bridge (edwiser-bridge) plugin
  4. Check if the current version is below 3.0.8
  5. If vulnerable, click 'Update Now' if an update to version 3.0.8 is available, or manually download version 3.0.8 from a trusted source and reinstall
  6. After updating, verify the new version number reflects 3.0.8 or higher
  7. Test critical functionality (course imports, connections to external LMS) to ensure the update did not break existing features
