Vulnerabilities

WhatsApp MCP Server is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for WhatsApp, enabling Claude to read and send WhatsApp messages. Prior to version 0.2.1, the `whatsapp-bridge` HTTP API listens on `127.0.0.1:8080` without authentication and without Host header validation, and the `/api/send` endpoint accepts an absolute `media_path` parameter without confining it to a safe directory. Combined, these issues allow any local process running as the same user as the bridge to send WhatsApp messages from the paired account without authorization; the same caller to read arbitrary files readable by the user (e.g. SSH private keys, browser session data, source code, dotfiles) and exfiltrate them as WhatsApp document attachments; and/or a remote attacker to trigger the same operations via DNS rebinding from a webpage the user visits, since no Host header validation is performed. In MCP environments, "local caller" extends beyond processes the user explicitly launched — sibling MCP servers, IDE extensions, and tool-triggered flows running in the user's session can act as the effective caller. This issue is fixed in whatsapp-mcp v0.2.1 and corresponding Docker images / release artifacts. Users should upgrade immediately. The fix introduces bearer token authentication on the bridge HTTP API (configured via environment variable, required on all requests, validated with constant-time comparison); host header allow-list validation to prevent DNS rebinding; and confinement of `media_path` to a configured directory, with rejection of absolute paths outside the root and path traversal sequences. This is a breaking change for clients of the bridge API. For users who cannot immediately upgrade: Stop the bridge, or block loopback access to port 8080, when the bridge is not actively in use; avoid running the bridge alongside untrusted MCP servers, browser extensions, or other untrusted local processes; avoid browsing untrusted sites while the bridge is running (DNS rebinding mitigation); and/or run the bridge under a dedicated user account or in a sandbox/container with no access to sensitive files.

CVE-2025-1661 is an unauthenticated local file inclusion (CWE-22) in the HUSKY – Products Filter Professional for WooCommerce WordPress plugin, affecting all versions up to and including 1.3.6.5. An attacker triggers it by sending a crafted request to the woof_text_search AJAX action with a path-traversal value in the 'template' parameter, causing the server to include an attacker-controlled file path. Because any PHP code in the included file is executed, an attacker can bypass access controls, read sensitive data, or achieve full code execution where the site allows uploading files that the server will execute (for example, uploadable 'safe' file types paired with include behavior). Any WordPress/WooCommerce site running HUSKY at version 1.3.6.5 or older is affected, with no authentication or user interaction required. No public proof-of-concept or confirmed in-the-wild exploitation is known yet, but the 56.4% EPSS score (99th percentile) indicates a high likelihood of exploitation attempts within 30 days.

Do: Update HUSKY to the first release after 1.3.6.5 and verify the patched version in the plugin changelog. As interim mitigation, restrict or block unauthenticated POST requests to admin-ajax.php with action=woof_text_search (or apply WAF rules constraining the 'template' parameter against '../' traversal), and audit upload directories for files that could be included and executed. Review access logs for anomalous woof_text_search requests containing path-traversal patterns.

The FooGallery – Responsive Photo Gallery, Image Viewer, Justified, Masonry & Carousel plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the default_gallery_title_size parameter in all versions up to, and including, 2.4.29 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with granted gallery and album creator roles, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

The Post Meta Data Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to multisite privilege escalation in all versions up to, and including, 1.4.4. This is due to the plugin not properly verifying the existence of a multisite installation prior to allowing user meta to be added/modified. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Administrator-level access and above, to gain elevated privileges on subsites that would otherwise be inaccessible.

The Hero Maps Premium plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via several AJAX actions in all versions up to, and including, 2.3.9 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.
