## Description

The Product Import Export for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Server-Side Request Forgery via the import-from-URL feature (validate_file/import AJAX actions) and the remote product image import in all versions up to, and including, 2.6.7. This is due to the plugin fetching user-supplied URLs with wp_remote_get() and checking only that the URL ends in an allowed file extension, without rejecting private, loopback or link-local destinations, either directly or after HTTP redirects. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with shop manager-level access and above to make web requests to arbitrary locations originating from the web application, which can be used to query and modify information from internal services.
