CVE-2025-5961 Information

Jul 04, 2025 cve

Description

The Migration Backup Staging – WPvivid Backup & Migration plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file uploads due to missing file type validation in the ‘wpvivid_upload_import_files’ function in all versions up to and including 0.9.116. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with Administrator-level access and above to upload arbitrary files on the affected site’s server which may make remote code execution possible. NOTE: Uploaded files are only accessible on WordPress instances running on the NGINX web server as the existing .htaccess within the target file upload folder prevents access on Apache servers.
