# Limit Login Attempts WordPress plugin: admins can make the site request internal hosts

Link for people: https://infrastack.ai/live/CVE-2026-118439 (this .md is for agents)

The Limit Login Attempts Security WordPress plugin before 3.4.2 sends a server-side request to a destination taken from a setup value without checking it. A user with administrator rights can make the site request arbitrary hosts, including internal ones (SSRF).

_Summary, check and fix written by a model from the sources; labelled as such._

## How to check

- Check the installed plugin version in the WordPress admin under Plugins, or with `wp plugin get limit-login-attempts-reloaded --field=version` if WP-CLI is available.
- Confirm whether any setup value triggers outbound requests on the site.

## From the sources

The Limit Login Attempts Security  WordPress plugin before 3.4.2 does not validate the destination of a server-side request built from a user-supplied setup value, allowing users with administrator privileges to make the site issue requests to arbitrary hosts, including internal ones (SSRF).
