CVE-2026-115242 Details
Description
The WPvivid — Backup, Migration & Staging WordPress plugin before 0.9.137 does not sanitize the staging destination folder supplied to its staging-start handler, applying only a generic text filter while the sibling writability-check handler applies the correct filename sanitizer, so an authenticated administrator can supply a path containing traversal sequences and make the WPvivid — Backup, Migration & Staging WordPress plugin before 0.9.137 write the copied site files outside the WordPress installation directory.
A path traversal vulnerability has been identified in the WPvivid Backup, Migration & Staging WordPress plugin, affecting versions prior to 0.9.137. The vulnerability arises because the plugin does not properly sanitize the staging destination folder provided to its staging-start handler. Instead, it applies only a generic text filter, while the adjacent writability-check handler uses the correct filename sanitizer. This oversight allows an authenticated administrator to introduce traversal sequences in the path, potentially leading to the unauthorized writing of copied site files outside the WordPress installation directory.
Users are advised to update the WPvivid Backup, Migration & Staging WordPress plugin to version 0.9.137 or later.
