Attack profile from CVSS 3.1 · CISA ADP. Fix status from CNA. Impact type from CWE-918 and the CVSS impact.
Summary
The FV Flowplayer Video Player WordPress plugin from 7.5.44.7212 before 7.5.55.7212 does not properly validate a user-supplied URL before performing a server-side fetch (CWE-918). An authenticated user with Contributor-level access or above can use this to make the server send requests, because an existing host-based restriction misses some cases. The attacker learns whether an internal resource responds and its HTTP status, but not its contents. A public exploit is linked in the references.

Description from the CNA
The FV Flowplayer Video Player WordPress plugin before 7.5.55.7212 does not properly validate a user-supplied URL before performing a server-side fetch, and an existing host-based restriction fails to cover all cases, allowing users with Contributor-level access and above to perform Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) attacks. The impact is limited to a semi-blind oracle: the server's fetch reveals whether an internal resource responds and its HTTP status, but the resource's contents are not returned to the attacker.
