## What is CVE-2026-11370?

CVE-2026-11370 is a medium-severity server-side request forgery vulnerability in joomunited WP Meta SEO, published on 24 Jun 2026. Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.

### Official description

The WP Meta SEO plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Server-Side Request Forgery in all versions up to, and including, 4.5.18 via the 'new_link' parameter. 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. The HTTP response status from outbound requests is reflected back in the AJAX JSON response as status_code, providing an enumeration oracle usable for probing internal hosts and cloud metadata services.

Weakness: CWE-918 (Server-Side Request Forgery)
