WordPress · Wpvivid · CVE-2020-36842
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Migration, Backup, Staging – WPvivid plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including 0.9.35
**Description**
The issue is related to arbitrary file uploads due to a missing capability check on the `wpvivid upload import files` and `wpvivid upload files` AJAX actions. This allows low-level authenticated attackers to upload zip files that can be subsequently extracted, potentially leading to database leaks.
**Recommendations**
For versions up to, and including 0.9.35, update to the latest version to secure your site and mitigate the risk of arbitrary file uploads. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the `wpvivid upload import files` and `wpvivid upload files` AJAX actions until a patch is available.
