Description

The Bei Fen – WordPress Backup Plugin plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Local File Inclusion in all versions up to, and including, 1.4.2 via the 'task'. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to include and execute arbitrary .php 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 .php file types can be uploaded and included. This only affects instances running PHP 7.1 or older.

Attack-Flow Graph

Executive Summary

This vulnerability is a Local File Inclusion (LFI) issue in the Bei Fen – WordPress Backup Plugin for WordPress, affecting all versions up to and including 1.4.2. It allows authenticated users with Subscriber-level access or higher to include and execute arbitrary .php files on the server via the 'task' parameter. This means attackers can run any PHP code contained in those files, potentially bypassing access controls and gaining unauthorized capabilities. The vulnerability only affects instances running PHP version 7.1 or older.

Impact Analysis

This vulnerability can have severe impacts including unauthorized code execution on the server, bypassing access controls, and exposure of sensitive data. Attackers with low-level authenticated access can exploit this to run arbitrary PHP code, which could lead to full system compromise, data theft, or disruption of services.
