In short
A WordPress plugin has a serious flaw that lets anyone, without logging in, include and run any file from the server. An attacker can upload a malicious file and then trick the plugin into running it, giving them full control of the website.
Technical detail
The plugin fails to validate the 'filename' parameter in the 'umbrella-restore' action, enabling unauthenticated Local File Inclusion (CWE-98). Attackers can exploit path traversal or previously uploaded files to execute arbitrary PHP code on the server, bypassing authentication and achieving remote code execution.
Summary generated and translated by AI from the official description.
The WP Umbrella: Update Backup Restore & Monitoring plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Local File Inclusion in all versions up to, and including, 2.17.0 via the 'filename' parameter of the 'umbrella-restore' action. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers 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.
