Summary

The B Carousel Block – Responsive Image and Content Carousel plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Server-Side Request Forgery in versions up to, and including, 1.1.5. This is due to the plugin not validating user-supplied URLs before passing them to the wp_remote_request() function. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-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.

Risk Assessment

An authenticated attacker with subscriber-level access can exploit SSRF to access internal services and network resources, potentially leading to data disclosure or further attacks. The risk affects organizations using this plugin on WordPress sites with access to internal systems.

Recommendation

Update the B Carousel Block plugin to a version newer than 1.1.5 if available, or consider removing it and replacing it with an alternative solution. Additionally, implement URL validation and restrict access to internal services from the WordPress server.
