CVE-2026-2290 | Post Affiliate Pro <= 1.28.0 - Authenticated (Administrator+) Server-Side Request Forgery via 'Post Affiliate Pro URL' Field

The Post Affiliate Pro plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Server-Side Request Forgery in all versions up to, and including, 1.28.0.

Successful exploitation was confirmed by receiving and observing response data from an external Collaborator endpoint.
