CVE-2025-10705: 
WordPress vulnerability analysis and mitigation

The MxChat – AI Chatbot for WordPress plugin is vulnerable to Blind Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) in versions up to and including 2.4.6. This vulnerability was discovered and disclosed on October 23, 2025, and is tracked as CVE-2025-10705. The vulnerability affects the PDF processing functionality of the plugin due to insufficient validation of user-supplied URLs (NVD).

The vulnerability exists in the PDF processing functionality where unauthenticated attackers can make the WordPress server perform HTTP requests to arbitrary destinations via the mxchathandlechat_request AJAX action. The issue stems from insufficient URL validation before processing PDF files. The vulnerability has been assigned a CVSS v3.1 Base Score of 5.3 (MEDIUM) with the vector string CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N, indicating network accessibility with low attack complexity and no required privileges (NVD, Rapid7).

The vulnerability allows unauthenticated attackers to make the WordPress server perform HTTP requests to arbitrary destinations. This could potentially be used to probe internal networks, bypass firewalls, or access internal services that are not meant to be publicly accessible (NVD).

The vulnerability has been patched in version 2.4.7 of the MxChat plugin. The fix includes implementing proper URL validation before processing PDF files, changing wpremoteget to wpsaferemoteget, and adding comprehensive URL security checks through the new mxchatissafepdf_url function. Users are advised to update to version 2.4.7 or later to protect against this vulnerability (WordPress Changeset).
