Description

Backup Migration before 2.1.8 for WordPress contains a path traversal vulnerability in its PclZip restore fallback that allows an attacker to achieve arbitrary file write when an administrator restores a malicious backup archive on a server lacking the PHP zip extension. Attackers can craft a zip archive with entry names containing ".." sequences, which PclZip's extract() processes without the PCLZIP_OPT_EXTRACT_DIR_RESTRICTION option, writing a PHP file outside the intended extraction directory into the web-servable tree to achieve remote code execution.

CWE-22

Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal')

The product uses external input to construct a pathname that is intended to identify a file or directory that is located underneath a restricted parent directory, but the product does not properly neutralize special elements within the pathname that can cause the pathname to resolve to a location that is outside of the restricted directory.
