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 confidence

Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability in the WordPress plugin 'Display Remote Posts Block' (display-remote-posts-block) versions 1.1.0 and below allows unauthenticated attackers to make the server perform arbitrary requests to internal or external resources, potentially exposing internal services, cloud metadata, or bypassing network restrictions.

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 the plugin installation directory
    Check your WordPress installation for the presence of wp-content/plugins/display-remote-posts-block/ directory
    Affected if The plugin directory exists on the server
  2. Identify the installed plugin version
    Open wp-content/plugins/display-remote-posts-block/display-remote-posts-block.php and locate the Version header in the plugin comment block, or check the readme.txt file
    Affected if The reported version is 1.1.0 or lower
  3. Confirm the plugin is active
    Query the WordPress database wp_options table for the option name 'active_plugins', or use the WordPress admin dashboard to list active plugins
    Affected if The plugin appears in the list of active plugins and the version is 1.1.0 or below
  4. Inspect plugin functionality for remote request features
    Examine the plugin PHP files in the plugin directory for functions that accept user-supplied URLs (such as wp_remote_get, file_get_contents with URL parameters, or cURL calls)
    Affected if The plugin code contains functions that fetch remote content based on user input without proper validation

A user is affected if the Display Remote Posts Block plugin version 1.1.0 or below is installed and active on their WordPress site, as unauthenticated attackers could exploit the SSRF vulnerability through the plugin's remote request functionality.
