CVE-2025-13174
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedA weakness has been identified in rachelos WeRSS we-mp-rss up to 1.4.7. Affected by this vulnerability is the function do_job of the file /rachelos/we-mp-rss/blob/main/jobs/mps.py of the component Webhook Module. Executing manipulation of the argument web_hook_url can lead to server-side request forgery. The attack may be launched remotely. The exploit has been made available to the public and could be exploited.
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 · high confidenceThis is a Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability in the WeRSS we-mp-rss application affecting versions up to 1.4.7. The vulnerability exists in the do_job function within the mps.py file of the Webhook Module, where the web_hook_url parameter is used to construct server-side HTTP requests without proper validation or allowlisting, allowing attackers to manipulate the parameter to make the server request arbitrary URLs.

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 checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify if WeRSS we-mp-rss is installedLook for the we-mp-rss application directory or check installed packages. Common locations include /opt/werss, /var/www/werss, or check via package manager (pip list, npm list, etc.). Also check running web services for we-mp-rss endpoints.Affected if WeRSS we-mp-rss application is present on the system
-
Determine the installed versionCheck the version file, package.json, setup.py, or requirements.txt in the application directory. Look for version 1.4.7 or higher. If no version file exists, check git tags or the application's main entry point for version information.Affected if The installed version is 1.4.7 or lower (or version cannot be determined but the application is present)
-
Locate the Webhook ModuleSearch for the mps.py file within the application directory, typically found under a webhook module path such as modules/webhook/mps.py or similar. This file contains the do_job function.Affected if The mps.py file exists in the Webhook Module directory
-
Verify web_hook_url configuration is in useExamine the application configuration files (config.yaml, config.json, .env, settings.py) for any web_hook_url, webhook_url, or webhook configuration entries. Check if webhooks are enabled in the module settings.Affected if web_hook_url parameter is configured or exposed in the application settings or API endpoints
-
Check for external input vectorsReview how the web_hook_url parameter receives input. Look for API endpoints, admin interfaces, or user-accessible forms that accept webhook URLs. Check if these endpoints are accessible without authentication or from untrusted networks.Affected if The web_hook_url can be set by external users or untrusted sources, or the webhook configuration interface is exposed to the network
A system is affected if WeRSS we-mp-rss version 1.4.7 or lower is installed, the Webhook Module with mps.py is present, and the web_hook_url parameter is configurable or exposed.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataImplement strict URL allowlist validation on the web_hook_url parameter to ensure only approved domains/IPs can be used in webhook requests. Additionally, enforce network segmentation and restrict access to internal services and cloud metadata endpoints.
