AI-suggested

Upgrade Backup Migration to version 2.1.8 or later, where this vulnerability is fixed. The fixed version properly restricts extraction paths in the PclZip fallback. No other mitigation is indicated or required if the plugin is updated.

Description

Backup Migration for WordPress versions before 2.1.8 contains a path traversal vulnerability in its PclZip restore fallback. This flaw allows an attacker to write arbitrary files outside the intended directory when an administrator restores a malicious backup archive on a server without the PHP zip extension. The vulnerability arises because PclZip's extract() function processes crafted zip entries with '..' sequences without directory restriction, enabling remote code execution by placing PHP files in the web-accessible directory.
