Lifecycle Timeline
3DescriptionCVE.org
The Backup Migration plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Missing Authorization in all versions up to, and including, 2.0.0. This is due to a missing capability check on the 'initializeOfflineAjax' function and lack of proper nonce verification. The endpoint only validates against hardcoded tokens which are publicly exposed in the plugin's JavaScript. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to trigger the backup upload queue processing, potentially causing unexpected backup transfers to configured cloud storage targets and resource exhaustion.
AnalysisAI
Unauthenticated attackers can trigger backup upload queue processing in Backup Migration plugin for WordPress (all versions up to 2.0.0) via the 'initializeOfflineAjax' AJAX endpoint, which lacks capability checks and relies on publicly exposed hardcoded tokens for validation. This allows remote attackers to cause unexpected backup transfers to cloud storage and resource exhaustion without authentication or user interaction. CVSS 5.3 (medium), no confirmed active exploitation reported.
Technical ContextAI
The Backup Migration plugin (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:inisev:backupbliss_-_backup_&_migration_with_free_cloud_storage:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*) implements AJAX endpoints for offline backup processing via the 'initializeOfflineAjax' function in offline.php and ajax_offline.php. The vulnerability stems from CWE-862 (Missing Authorization): the endpoint fails to validate user capabilities using WordPress nonce verification and instead relies on hardcoded token values that are embedded in the plugin's JavaScript files and publicly accessible. This allows any network-accessible attacker to craft requests that spoof legitimate backup initiation calls, triggering the backup upload queue and routing data to pre-configured cloud storage destinations without permission.
RemediationAI
Upgrade the Backup Migration plugin to version 2.1.0 or later, which implements proper authorization checks and nonce verification on the 'initializeOfflineAjax' endpoint. The WordPress plugin repository changeset (referenced in Trac) confirms that version 2.1.0 includes the fix. Users unable to upgrade immediately should disable the offline backup functionality via plugin configuration or deactivate the plugin entirely until patching is complete. Refer to the Wordfence vulnerability page (https://www.wordfence.com/threat-intel/vulnerabilities/id/a2a41a15-0743-48cc-8c92-7cb839fa5847) for additional context and the official WordPress Backup Migration plugin page for installation of the patched version.
