CVE-2026-78397 Details
Description
The Link Library WordPress plugin before 7.9.6 does not validate the destination of a user-supplied URL before falling back to an unprotected fetch when its safe request is rejected, allowing unauthenticated visitors to make the site issue requests to hosts on its internal network and to learn from the response whether an internal service answered. Versions below 7.8.8 are covered by CVE-2025-68600; this entry covers 7.8.8 through 7.9.5, where that fix was incomplete. Exploitation requires the site owner to have published the Link Library WordPress plugin before 7.9.6's public link submission form with reciprocal-link validation enabled.
A server-side request forgery (SSRF) vulnerability has been identified in the Link Library WordPress plugin, affecting versions 7.8.8 prior to 7.9.6. The vulnerability arises because the plugin does not properly validate user-supplied URLs before reverting to an unprotected fetch, allowing unauthenticated visitors to make requests to internal network hosts. This could reveal whether an internal service is active. Exploitation requires the site owner to have published the plugin's public link submission form with reciprocal-link validation enabled.
Users are advised to update the Link Library WordPress plugin to version 7.9.6 or later.
