Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Server-side Request Forgery (SSRF). The edit_blog.php script allows a registered user to add external RSS feed resources. It was identified that this feature could be abused to be used as a SSRF attack vector by adding a malicious URL/TCP PORT in order to target an internal network or an internet-hosted server, bypassing firewall rules, IP filtering and more.
