Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Migration, Backup, Staging – WPvivid plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 0.9.89

Description The issue is related to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via admin settings, specifically the backup path parameter, due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This allows authenticated attackers with administrator-level permissions to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages, which will execute when a user accesses an injected page. The issue only affects multi-site installations and installations where unfiltered html has been disabled.

Recommendations For versions up to, and including, 0.9.89, update to a version higher than 0.9.89 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the admin settings and the backup path parameter to minimize the risk of exploitation.
