If you're unable to do so, below is a snippet you can add to your functions.php (or similar) that filters the `createMediaItem` mutation's resolver. \n\n### Patches\n\n- [v1.14.6](https://github.com/wp-graphql/wp-graphql/releases/tag/v1.14.6)\n- https://github.com/wp-graphql/wp-graphql/pull/2840\n\n### Workarounds\nIf you're unable to upgrade to v1.14.6 or higher, you should be able to use the following snippet in your functions.php to override the vulnerable resolver. \n\nThis snippet has been tested as far back as WPGraphQL v0.15\n\n```php\nadd_filter( 'graphql_pre_resolve_field', function( $nil, $source, $args, $context, \\GraphQL\\Type\\Definition\\ResolveInfo $info, $type_name, $field_key, $field, $field_resolver ) {\n\n\tif ( $info->fieldName !== 'createMediaItem' ) {\n\t\treturn $nil;\n\t}\n\n\t$input = $args['input'] ?? null;\n\n if ( ! isset( $input['filePath'] ) ) {\n\t\treturn $nil;\n\t}\n\n\t$uploaded_file_url = $input['filePath'];\n\n\t// Check that the filetype is allowed\n\t$check_file = wp_check_filetype( $uploaded_file_url );\n\n\t// if the file does not pass the check, throw an error\n\tif ( ! $check_file['ext'] || ! $check_file['type'] || ! wp_http_validate_url( $uploaded_file_url ) ) {\n\t\tthrow new \\GraphQL\\Error\\UserError( sprintf( __( 'Invalid filePath \"%s\"', 'wp-graphql' ), $input['filePath'] ) );\n\t}\n\n\t$protocol = wp_parse_url( $input['filePath'], PHP_URL_SCHEME );\n\n\t// prevent the filePath from being submitted with a non-allowed protocols\n\t$allowed_protocols = [ 'https', 'http', 'file' ];\n\n\tif ( ! in_array( $protocol, $allowed_protocols, true ) ) {\n\t\tthrow new \\GraphQL\\Error\\UserError( sprintf( __( 'Invalid protocol. \"%1$s\". Only \"%2$s\" allowed.', 'wp-graphql' ), $protocol, implode( '\", \"', $allowed_protocols ) ) );\n\t}\n\n\treturn $nil;\n\n}, 10, 9 );\n```\n\n### References\n\n- https://patchstack.com/database/vulnerability/wp-graphql/wordpress-wp-graphql-plugin-1-14-5-server-side-request-forgery-ssrf-vulnerability", "aliases": [ { "alias": "CVE-2023-23684" }, { "alias": "GHSA-cfh4-7wq9-6pgg" } ], "fixed_packages": [ { "url": "http://public2.vulnerablecode.io/api/packages/67705?format=api", "purl": "pkg:composer/wp-graphql/wp-graphql@1.14.6", "is_vulnerable": false, "affected_by_vulnerabilities": [], "resource_url": "http://public2.vulnerablecode.io/packages/pkg:composer/wp-graphql/wp-graphql@1.14.6" } ], "affected_packages": [ { "url": "http://public2.vulnerablecode.io/api/packages/67704?format=api", "purl": "pkg:composer/wp-graphql/wp-graphql@1.14.5", "is_vulnerable": true, "affected_by_vulnerabilities": [ { "vulnerability": "VCID-89qj-fyz5-tuhg" } ], "resource_url": "http://public2.vulnerablecode.io/packages/pkg:composer/wp-graphql/wp-graphql@1.14.5" } ], "references": [ { "reference_url": "https://api.first.org/data/v1/epss?cve=CVE-2023-23684", "reference_id": "", "reference_type": "", "scores": [ { "value": "0.00174", "scoring_system": "epss", "scoring_elements": "0.38506", "published_at": "2026-06-04T12:55:00Z" } ], "url": "https://api.first.org/data/v1/epss?cve=CVE-2023-23684" }, { "reference_url": "https://github.com/wp-graphql/wp-graphql", "reference_id": "", "reference_type": "", "scores": [ { "value": "6.5", "scoring_system": "cvssv3.1", "scoring_elements": "CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N" }, { "value": "MODERATE", "scoring_system": "generic_textual", "scoring_elements": "" } ], "url": "https://github.com/wp-graphql/wp-graphql" }, { "reference_url": "https://github.com/wp-graphql/wp-graphql/pull/2840", "reference_id": "", "reference_type": "", "scores": [ { "value": "6.5", "scoring_system": "cvssv3.1", "scoring_elements": "CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N" }, { "value": "MODERATE", "scoring_system": "generic_textual", "scoring_elements": "" } ], "url": "https://github.com/wp-graphql/wp-graphql/pull/2840" }, { "reference_url": "https://github.com/wp-graphql/wp-graphql/releases/tag/v1.14.6", "reference_id": "", "reference_type": "", "scores": [ { "value": "6.5", "scoring_system": "cvssv3.1", "scoring_elements": "CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N" }, { "value": "MODERATE", "scoring_system": "generic_textual", "scoring_elements": "" } ], "url": "https://github.com/wp-graphql/wp-graphql/releases/tag/v1.14.6" }, { "reference_url": "https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2023-23684", "reference_id": "", "reference_type": "", "scores": [ { "value": "6.5", "scoring_system": "cvssv3.1", "scoring_elements": "CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N" }, { "value": "MODERATE", "scoring_system": "generic_textual", "scoring_elements": "" } ], "url": "https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2023-23684" }, { "reference_url": "https://patchstack.com/database/vulnerability/wp-graphql/wordpress-wp-graphql-plugin-1-14-5-server-side-request-forgery-ssrf-vulnerability?_s_id=cve", "reference_id": "", "reference_type": "", "scores": [ { "value": "6.5", "scoring_system": "cvssv3.1", "scoring_elements": "CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N" }, { "value": "MODERATE", "scoring_system": "generic_textual", "scoring_elements": "" } ], "url": "https://patchstack.com/database/vulnerability/wp-graphql/wordpress-wp-graphql-plugin-1-14-5-server-side-request-forgery-ssrf-vulnerability?_s_id=cve" }, { "reference_url": "https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-cfh4-7wq9-6pgg", "reference_id": "GHSA-cfh4-7wq9-6pgg", "reference_type": "", "scores": [], "url": "https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-cfh4-7wq9-6pgg" }, { "reference_url": "https://github.com/wp-graphql/wp-graphql/security/advisories/GHSA-cfh4-7wq9-6pgg", "reference_id": "GHSA-cfh4-7wq9-6pgg", "reference_type": "", "scores": [ { "value": "6.5", "scoring_system": "cvssv3.1", "scoring_elements": "CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N" }, { "value": "MODERATE", "scoring_system": "generic_textual", "scoring_elements": "" } ], "url": "https://github.com/wp-graphql/wp-graphql/security/advisories/GHSA-cfh4-7wq9-6pgg" } ], "weaknesses": [ { "cwe_id": 918, "name": "Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF)", "description": "The web server receives a URL or similar request from an upstream component and retrieves the contents of this URL, but it does not sufficiently ensure that the request is being sent to the expected destination." } ], "exploits": [], "severity_range_score": "4.0 - 6.9", "exploitability": "0.5", "weighted_severity": "6.2", "risk_score": 3.1, "resource_url": "http://public2.vulnerablecode.io/vulnerabilities/VCID-89qj-fyz5-tuhg" }
