The Backup Migration plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to OS Command Injection in all versions up to, and including, 1.3.9 via the 'url' parameter. This vulnerability allows authenticated attackers, with administrator-level permissions and above, to execute arbitrary commands on the host operating system.
CVE-2023-7002
Score elevated to 7.7 because EPSS predicts 46% probability of exploitation within the next 30 days (top 1.3% of all CVEs). NVD baseline CVSS 7.2 retained for reference. Confidence: see factors.
- High severity, but no confirmed exploitation yet
No vendor fix yet — apply a workaround or compensating control (WAF / firewall / segmentation) and watch for a patch.
