AI-suggested
Administrators should verify if a vendor advisory or update has been released since this report. Until a fix is provided, restrict Administrator access to trusted users only and consider using web server configurations or security plugins to block execution or access to uploaded files in the plugin's upload directory, especially on NGINX servers.
Description
The Migration, Backup, Staging – WPvivid Backup & Migration plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file uploads due to missing file type validation in the 'upload_files' function in all versions up to, and including, 0.9.112. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Administrator-level access and above, to upload arbitrary files on the affected site's server which may make remote code execution possible. NOTE: Uploaded files are only accessible on WordPress instances running on the NGINX web server as the existing .htaccess within the target file upload folder prevents access on Apache servers.
