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 · unedited
The MimeTypes Link Icons plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Server-Side Request Forgery in all versions up to, and including, 3.2.20. This is due to the plugin making outbound HTTP requests to user-controlled URLs without proper validation when the "Show file size" option is enabled. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to make web requests to arbitrary locations originating from the web application and can be used to query and modify information from internal services via crafted links in post content.

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

The MimeTypes Link Icons WordPress plugin versions up to 3.2.20 are vulnerable to SSRF due to insufficient validation of user-controlled URLs when the 'Show file size' feature is enabled. Authenticated attackers with Contributor-level access can craft malicious links in post content to force the server to make arbitrary HTTP requests to internal or external resources.

MitigationUpgrade to version 3.2.21 or later, or disable the 'Show file size' option until a patch is available. Implement strict URL allowlist validation for any outbound 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. Check if MimeTypes Link Icons plugin is installed
    Look for the mimetypes-link-icons folder in wp-content/plugins/ or find the plugin listed in WordPress admin under Plugins > Installed Plugins
    Affected if The plugin is present in the WordPress installation
  2. Determine the installed plugin version
    Open the main plugin file (typically mimetypes-link-icons.php) in the plugin directory and read the Version value from the plugin header comment, or view the version in WordPress admin under Plugins
    Affected if Version is 3.2.20 or lower
  3. Verify if Show file size feature is enabled
    Access the plugin settings page in WordPress admin (usually under Settings > MimeTypes or similar) and check if the Show file size option is checked/enabled, or query the wp_options table for an option like 'mtli_show_file_size' set to 1
    Affected if The Show file size option is enabled in the plugin configuration

Environment is affected if MimeTypes Link Icons plugin version 3.2.20 or lower is installed AND the Show file size feature is currently enabled, allowing authenticated Contributor+ users to trigger SSRF via crafted links
