CVE-2025-5961 – NGINX WordPress Plugin WPvivid Backup & Migration Arbitrary File Upload Vulnerability

CVE ID : CVE-2025-5961

Published : July 3, 2025, 2:15 p.m. | 40 minutes ago

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.

Severity: 7.2 | HIGH
