WordPress is affected by an unauthenticated blind SSRF in the pingback feature. Because of a TOCTOU race condition between the validation checks and the HTTP request, attackers can reach internal hosts that are explicitly forbidden.

Weakness

The product checks the state of a resource before using that resource, but the resource’s state can change between the check and the use in a way that invalidates the results of the check. This can cause the product to perform invalid actions when the resource is in an unexpected state.

Affected Software

Name Vendor Start Version End Version
Wordpress Wordpress 4.2 (including) 6.1.1 (including)
Wordpress Wordpress 4.1 (including) 4.1 (including)
