**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions** The Friends plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 2.8.5 **Description** The issue allows authenticated attackers with administrator-level access and above to make web requests to arbitrary locations originating from the web application. This can be used to query and modify information from internal services via the `discover available feeds` function. **Recommendations** For versions up to, and including, 2.8.5, consider disabling the `discover available feeds` function as a temporary workaround until a patch is available. Restrict access to internal services to minimize the risk of exploitation.
