wp-includes/http.php in WordPress before 3.7.5, 3.8.x before 3.8.5, 3.9.x before 3.9.3, and 4.x before 4.0.1 allows remote attackers to conduct server-side request forgery (SSRF) attacks by referring to a 127.0.0.0/8 resource.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2014-9038 is an old WordPress server-side request forgery issue. A vulnerable WordPress site could be made to request loopback addresses, potentially exposing services reachable only from the web server. The public bundle identifies fixed WordPress releases but provides no CVSS score or confirmed active exploitation evidence. Exposure is mainly legacy WordPress installations or distribution packages that never received the November 2014 fixes. Modern maintained WordPress deployments should not be exposed if core updates are current. Prioritize remediation where old WordPress is still internet-facing or hosted near sensitive internal services. This is not KEV-listed, but SSRF can turn a website into a bridge toward protected local resources. Mitigation focus: Upgrade WordPress to 3.7.5, 3.8.5, 3.9.3, 4.0.1, or later.; Apply Debian, Mageia, Mandriva, or other vendor package updates where WordPress is distro-managed.; Retire unsupported WordPress branches that cannot receive core security fixes..
