CVE-2024-13869: CWE-434 Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type in wpvividplugins WPvivid — Backup, Migration & Staging
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.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The WPvivid Backup, Migration & Staging plugin for WordPress suffers from an unrestricted file upload vulnerability (CWE-434) in the 'upload_files' function. This vulnerability allows authenticated users with Administrator privileges to upload arbitrary files without proper file type validation. Because of this, attackers can potentially execute remote code on affected WordPress instances running on NGINX servers. Apache-based servers are protected by existing .htaccess rules that block access to uploaded files, mitigating exploitation on those platforms. The vulnerability affects all versions up to and including 0.9.112 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.2, indicating high severity.
Potential Impact
An attacker with Administrator-level access can upload arbitrary files to the server, potentially leading to remote code execution on WordPress sites running on NGINX web servers. This could compromise the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected system. Apache servers are less impacted due to .htaccess restrictions preventing access to uploaded files. There are no known exploits in the wild at this time.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict administrator access to trusted users only and consider using web server configurations or security plugins to block execution of uploaded files in the upload directory on NGINX servers. Monitor vendor channels for updates and apply patches promptly once released.
