CVE, Research URL: CVE-2023-6971
Home page URL: Security reports for Backup Migration
Application: Backup Migration
Published on: Dec 23, 2023
Research Description: The Backup Migration plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Remote File Inclusion in versions 1.0.8 to 1.3.9 via the 'content-dir' HTTP header. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to include remote files on the server, resulting in code execution. NOTE: Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires that the target server's php.ini is configured with 'allow_url_include' set to 'on'. This feature is deprecated as of PHP 7.4 and is disabled by default, but can still be explicitly enabled in later versions of PHP.
Affected versions: Min 1.0.8, max 1.3.9.
Status: vulnerable
