How to detect it

Nuclei template (active check)

WordPress - Server-Side Request Forgery

Unauthenticated Server Side Request Forgery (SSRF) in FormCraft <= 3.9.15 versions.

Name and description quoted from the template, written by VEDAS.

The template sends 2 requests (GET /, GET /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=formcraft3_get&URL=https://{{intera...); it confirms through an out-of-band callback (interactsh), so the scanner must be able to receive it; it decides using word matchers. Severity in the template: high. Marked as not yet verified against a live vulnerable target.
