CVE CVE-2020-36667
CVSS 5.4 (Medium)
Publicly Published July 30, 2020
Last Updated March 7, 2023
Researcher Chloe Chamberland - Wordfence

Description

The JetBackup – WP Backup, Migrate & Restore plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized back-up location changes in versions up to, and including 1.4.1 due to a lack of proper capability checking on the backup_guard_cloud_dropbox, backup_guard_cloud_gdrive, and backup_guard_cloud_oneDrive functions. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with minimal permissions, such as a subscriber to change to location of back-ups and potentially steal sensitive information from them.
