CVE-2025-5961

HIGH 7.2CVE-2025-5961 · Published 03/07/2025 · updated 17/06/2026

Package	Affected versions	Patched versions
migration, backup, staging wpvivid	`< 0.9.117`	`0.9.117`

Description

The Migration, Backup, Staging – WPvivid Backup & Migration plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file uploads due to missing file type validation in the 'wpvivid_upload_import_files' function in all versions up to, and including, 0.9.116. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Administrator-level access and above, to upload arbitrary files on the affected site's server which may make remote code execution possible. NOTE: Uploaded files are only accessible on WordPress instances running on the NGINX web server as the existing .htaccess within the target file upload folder prevents access on Apache servers.
