**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions** Performance Monitor WordPress plugin versions through 1.0.6 **Description** The Performance Monitor WordPress plugin does not properly validate a parameter before using it in a request, potentially allowing unauthenticated users to carry out Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) attacks. SSRF attacks occur when an attacker can cause the server to make requests to unintended locations, potentially exposing sensitive data or performing actions on behalf of the server. The vulnerable parameter is not specified. **Recommendations** Update the Performance Monitor WordPress plugin to a version later than 1.0.6.

**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions** Performance Monitor plugin for WordPress versions up to and including 1.0.6 **Description** The Performance Monitor plugin for WordPress is susceptible to Server-Side Request Forgery due to inadequate validation of the `url` parameter within the '/wp-json/performance-monitor/v1/curl data' API endpoint. This allows unauthenticated attackers to initiate web requests to arbitrary locations, including internal services, utilizing protocols like Gopher. Exploitation can potentially lead to Remote Code Execution when combined with services such as Redis. **Recommendations** Update the Performance Monitor plugin to a version newer than 1.0.6.
