AI-suggested
A fixed version 1.1.0 of the WebTotem Backups plugin is available that addresses this vulnerability. Users should upgrade to version 1.1.0 or later to remediate the issue. Until then, restrict authenticated user roles to trusted users only and consider disabling the plugin if possible.
Description
The WebTotem Backups WordPress plugin before 1.1.0 does not validate a user-supplied file path, does not check the capability of the user making the request, and discards the result of its own CSRF check, allowing any authenticated user, such as a subscriber, to delete arbitrary files on the server, which can lead to a site takeover.
