The Broken Link Notifier plugin for WordPress versions before 2.0.0.1 is susceptible to a redirect bypass vulnerability. This issue allows unauthenticated attackers to circumvent the plugin's internal-address filter, enabling them to exploit the server's functionality by sending unauthorized requests to internal services. This could lead to unforeseen access to sensitive internal resources and potentially compromise the security of the web application.

Affected Version(s)

Broken Link Notifier 1.3.1 < 2.0.0.1

Exploit Proof of Concept (PoC)
