The Canto plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to missing authorization in the copy-media.php upload flow.
The file is directly accessible and accepts attacker-controlled parameters for the upload destination, allowing unauthenticated users to upload arbitrary files constrained to WordPress-allowed MIME types.
The fbc_app_api parameter controls the domain WordPress fetches from via wp_safe_remote_get, enabling SSRF to attacker-controlled infrastructure.

id: CVE-2026-3335
info:
name: Canto <= 3.1.1 - Missing Authorization to Unauthenticated File Upload
author: iamatownboy
severity: medium
description: |
The Canto plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to missing authorization in the copy-media.php upload flow.
The file is directly accessible and accepts attacker-controlled parameters for the upload destination, allowing unauthenticated users to upload arbitrary files constrained to WordPress-allowed MIME types.
The fbc_app_api parameter controls the domain WordPress fetches from via wp_safe_remote_get, enabling SSRF to attacker-controlled infrastructure.
impact: |
Unauthenticated attackers can upload files into the WordPress media library by pointing the server-side fetch at an attacker-controlled Canto API. This also enables SSRF via the fbc_app_api parameter.
remediation: |
Update Canto to version 3.1.2 or later.
