What is CVE-2025-14613?
CVE-2025-14613 is a high-severity server-side request forgery vulnerability in daschmi GetContentFromURL, published on 14 Jan 2026. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.
Official description
The GetContentFromURL plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Server-Side Request Forgery in all versions up to, and including, 1.0. This is due to the plugin using wp_remote_get() instead of wp_safe_remote_get() to fetch content from a user-supplied URL in the 'url' parameter of the [gcfu] shortcode. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to make web requests to arbitrary locations originating from the web application and can be used to query and modify information from internal services.
