Descriptions

The Backup Migration plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Path Traversal in all versions up to, and including, 1.3.9 via the 'content-backups' and 'content-name', 'content-manifest', or 'content-bmitmp' and 'content-identy' HTTP headers. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to delete arbitrary files, including the wp-config.php file, which can make site takeover and remote code execution possible.

El complemento Backup Migration para WordPress es vulnerable a Path Traversal en todas las versiones hasta la 1.3.9 inclusive a través de 'content-backups' y 'content-name', 'content-manifest' o 'content-bmitmp' y Encabezados HTTP 'identidad de contenido'. Esto hace posible que atacantes no autenticados eliminen archivos arbitrarios, incluido el archivo wp-config.php, lo que puede hacer posible la toma de control del sitio y la ejecución remota de código.
