AI-suggested

Upgrade the BackUpWordPress plugin to version 3.15 or later, where this vulnerability is fixed. If you cannot patch yet, restrict authenticated user roles to trusted individuals only, as any Subscriber or higher can exploit this flaw. No other vendor advisory mitigation is provided.

Description

BackUpWordPress plugin versions before 3.15 contain a vulnerability where an AJAX action that cleans up the backup directory lacks proper capability or nonce checks. This flaw allows any authenticated user with Subscriber or higher privileges to delete backup protection and working files, potentially disrupting backups and removing download protection from stored backups.
