Upgrade Debian:unstable wordpress to version 4.5+dfsg-1 or higher.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream wordpress package and not the wordpress package as distributed by Debian.
See How to fix? for Debian:unstable relevant fixed versions and status.
WordPress before 4.5 does not consider octal and hexadecimal IP address formats when determining an intranet address, which allows remote attackers to bypass an intended SSRF protection mechanism via a crafted address.
