CVE-2025-11917 — WPeMatico RSS Feed Fetcher <= 2.8.11 - Authenticated (Subscriber+) Server-Side Request Forgery via wpematico_test_feed

The WPeMatico RSS Feed Fetcher plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Server-Side Request Forgery in all versions up to, and including, 2.8.11 via the wpematico_test_feed() function. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-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.

Low

Who exploits it and how urgent it is

A 0–100 score combining confirmed exploitation, ransomware and APT use, public exploits, EPSS and severity.

No exploitation signal in the sources consulted so far.

How the score was calculated

EPSS 0.2% (30-day exploitation probability)+2
Technical severity (medium)+3

The score orders the patch queue; it does not replace your asset context (internet exposure, criticality, compensating controls).

Triage

Is it exploited, how likely is exploitation, what does it touch, and how severe do the sources call it.

Exploitation

Not confirmed

Not in CISA KEV — an absence of record, not proof it is unexploited.
