Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Backup and Restore WordPress – Backup Plugin versions up to 1.50

Description The issue is related to Cross-Site Request Forgery, which is possible due to missing or incorrect nonce validation in the ajax queue manual backup() function. This allows unauthenticated attackers to trigger backups via a forged request if they can trick a site administrator into performing an action, such as clicking on a link.

Recommendations For versions up to 1.50, consider disabling the ajax queue manual backup() function until a patch is available to prevent exploitation. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
