HIGH 7.2

DescriptionNVD

The Migration, Backup, Staging - WPvivid Backup & Migration plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file uploads due to missing file type validation in the 'wpvivid_upload_import_files' function in all versions up to, and including, 0.9.116. 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.

Analysis

Technical ContextAI

Unrestricted file upload allows attackers to upload malicious files (web shells, executables) that can then be executed on the server. This vulnerability is classified as Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type (CWE-434).

RemediationAI

A vendor patch is available — apply it immediately. Validate file types by content (magic bytes), not just extension. Store uploads outside the web root. Use random filenames. Scan uploads for malware.
