Descriptions

The Backup Migration plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Remote Code Execution in all versions up to, and including, 1.3.7 via the /includes/backup-heart.php file. This is due to an attacker being able to control the values passed to an include, and subsequently leverage that to achieve remote code execution. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to easily execute code on the server.

Esto se debe a que un atacante puede controlar los valores pasados a una inclusión y, posteriormente, aprovecharlos para lograr la ejecución remota de código. Esto hace posible que atacantes no autenticados ejecuten código fácilmente en el servidor.
