Vulnerability Overview

The Duplicator – WordPress Migration & Backup Plugin plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Remote Code Execution in all versions up to 1.3.0 (exclusive) via the/installer.php file. This is due to plugin not properly cleaning up the installer.php file upon completion of the script. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to execute code on the server.

Technical Analysis

REMEDIATION: Update to version 1.3.0, or a newer patched version --- IDENTIFIER: CWE-94 (Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection')) The product constructs all or part of a code segment using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the syntax or behavior of the intended code segment.
