WordPress · Wordpress · CVE-2013-0235
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
WordPress versions prior to 3.5.1
**Description**
The issue allows remote attackers to send HTTP requests to intranet servers and conduct port-scanning attacks by specifying a crafted source URL for a pingback, related to a Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) issue. This affects the XMLRPC API.
**Recommendations**
For versions prior to 3.5.1, update to version 3.5.1 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the XMLRPC API until the update is applied.
