Arbitrary file deletion via backup path traversal
Published May 10, 2022 · Updated Apr 8, 2026
Path traversal in ServMask All-in-One WP Migration and Backup 7.58 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to delete arbitrary files. On Windows hosts, class-ai1wm-backups.php insufficiently validates a backup filename before resolving and deleting the supplied path. Administrator access or possession of the site's secret key is required, and deletion can compromise site data or availability.
