DescriptionCVE.org

The UpdraftPlus: WP Backup & Migration Plugin WordPress plugin before 1.26.7 does not have CSRF checks in one of its backup management actions, which could allow attackers to make a logged in admin restore an existing backup, reverting the site's database and files to an earlier state, via a crafted link.

AnalysisAI

UpdraftPlus: WP Backup & Migration Plugin for WordPress (all versions before 1.26.7) exposes a backup restoration action without CSRF token validation, enabling a remote attacker to revert a site's entire database and files to a prior backup state by tricking a logged-in administrator into clicking a crafted link. The integrity impact is high - a successful exploit silently undoes content updates, security hardening, and user data accumulated since the backup was taken. …

Attack ChainAIDerived

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Access
Identify WordPress site running UpdraftPlus <1.26.7
Delivery
Confirm stored backup exists on target
Exploit
Craft CSRF payload targeting restore action
Execution
Deliver malicious link or page to administrator
Persist
Admin loads page while authenticated, browser fires forged request
Impact
Site database and files reverted to backup state

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires all of the following: the target WordPress site must have UpdraftPlus installed at a version prior to 1.26.7; at least one valid backup must exist on the site that can be triggered for restoration; and a logged-in WordPress administrator must click or load a crafted URL or page controlled by the attacker (UI:R). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:L, score 5.9) captures the key constraints: high attack complexity because the attacker must successfully lure an authenticated administrator into triggering the CSRF payload, and required user interaction that limits automated mass exploitation. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker identifies a WordPress site running UpdraftPlus prior to 1.26.7 and confirms the existence of at least one stored backup. The attacker crafts a malicious HTML page or phishing email containing a forged HTTP request to the restore action and delivers it to the site administrator. …
Remediation The primary fix is upgrading UpdraftPlus to version 1.26.7 or later, which introduces CSRF token validation on the affected backup management action. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
