This security issue exposes proxy functionality to unauthenticated users, potentially leading to Server Side Request Forgery (SSRF) and Remote File Inclusion (RFI) vulnerabilities (WPScan).

Technical details

A proof of concept demonstrates the vulnerability can be exploited using the parameter 'qtproxycall' in the URL (WPScan).

Impact

When exploited, this vulnerability allows attackers to perform Server Side Request Forgery (SSRF) and Remote File Inclusion (RFI) attacks on the affected website. This means attackers can potentially force the server to fetch and execute malicious content from external sources, potentially leading to server compromise (WPScan).

Mitigation and workarounds
