Summary

The WordPress plugin Real Cookie Banner: GDPR & ePrivacy Cookie Consent up to version 5.2.4 is vulnerable to Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) in the REST API endpoint '/scanner/scan-without-login'. Insufficient validation of user-supplied URL allows an authenticated attacker with administrator-level access to make requests to arbitrary locations and modify information from internal services.

Risk Assessment

An attacker with administrator privileges can scan and modify internal resources, potentially leading to data disclosure or privilege escalation. However, high privileges are required.

Recommendation

Update the plugin to a version newer than 5.2.4. Additionally, restrict access to the REST API endpoint and implement URL validation.

Original NVD description (English source)

The Real Cookie Banner: GDPR & ePrivacy Cookie Consent plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Server-Side Request Forgery in all versions up to, and including, 5.2.4. This is due to insufficient validation on the user-supplied URL in the '/scanner/scan-without-login' REST API endpoint. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with administrator-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 the `url` parameter.
