Summary

The WPvivid Backup & Migration plugin for WordPress has a vulnerability that allows authenticated users with Administrator-level access to upload arbitrary files to the server. This security flaw is rooted in inadequate file type validation within the 'upload_files' function, affecting all versions up to and including 0.9.112. Although the uploaded files can only be accessed on NGINX web servers due to protective .htaccess rules in place for the upload folder, this vulnerability exposes significant risks, potentially enabling remote code execution.

Affected Version(s)

Migration, Backup, Staging – WPvivid Backup & Migration * <= 0.9.112

Exploit Proof of Concept (PoC)
