UpdraftPlus < 1.16.59 - Authenticated (Admin+) Local File Inclusion

7.2
Improper Control of Filename for Include/Require Statement in PHP Program ('PHP Remote File Inclusion')
CVSS 7.2 (High)
Publicly Published July 12, 2021
Last Updated December 14, 2022

Description

The UpdraftPlus plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Local File Inclusion in versions up to, and including, 1.16.56 via the updraft_service settings. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with administrator-level permissions and above, to include and execute arbitrary files on the server, allowing the execution of any PHP code in those files. This can be used to bypass access controls, obtain sensitive data, or achieve code execution in cases where images and other “safe” file types can be uploaded and included.
