CVE-2025-8013
The Quttera Web Malware Scanner plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Server-Side Request Forgery in all versions up to, and including, 3.5.1.41 via the 'RunExternalScan' function.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.27%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
