Vulnerability Overview

Multiple PHP remote file inclusion vulnerabilities in the BackUpWordPress 0.4.2b and earlier plugin for WordPress allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary PHP code via a URL in the bkpwp_plugin_path parameter to (1) plugins/BackUp/Archive.php; and (2) Predicate.php, (3) Writer.php, (4) Reader.php, and other unspecified scripts under plugins/BackUp/Archive/.

Technical Analysis

REMEDIATION: Update to version 0.4.3, or a newer patched version --- IDENTIFIER: CWE-98 (Improper Control of Filename for Include/Require Statement in PHP Program ('PHP Remote File Inclusion')) The PHP application receives input from an upstream component, but it does not restrict or incorrectly restricts the input before its usage in require, include, or similar functions.
