WordPress vulnerability analysis and mitigation

A Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability has been identified in Ali Irani Auto Upload Images plugin through version 3.3.2. The vulnerability was discovered and published on June 19, 2025, and was assigned identifier CVE-2025-49985. The affected software is the WordPress Auto Upload Images plugin, versions up to and including 3.3.2 (Wiz, Patchstack).

The vulnerability is classified as Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) with a CVSS v3.1 base score of 4.9 (Medium) and vector string CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N. The weakness is categorized under CWE-918 (Server-Side Request Forgery) and requires contributor-level privileges to exploit (Patchstack).

The vulnerability could allow a malicious actor to cause the website to execute requests to arbitrary domains. This could potentially lead to the discovery of sensitive information about other services running on the system (Patchstack).

As there is no official fix available and the software appears to be abandoned (last updated over a year ago), the recommended mitigation is to remove and replace the plugin with an alternative solution. It's noted that simply deactivating the software does not remove the security threat unless a virtual patch (vPatch) is deployed (Patchstack).
