CVE-2023-7002Network attack vector

Administrator-authenticated command execution via unescaped migration URL

Published Dec 23, 2023 · Updated Apr 8, 2026

OS command injection in Clever Widgets Backup Migration 1.3.9 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to execute commands via a crafted URL. The handleQuickMigration() AJAX path passes the POST url value into an exec() command for bmi_quick_migration without neutralizing shell metacharacters. WordPress administrator access is required, but successful exploitation runs arbitrary commands with the web server process's privileges.
