CVE-2023-6972 Information

Description

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.
