CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedThe Demi – One Click Demo Import, WP Backup & Site Migration plugin for WordPress is vulnerable due to inadequate HTTP access controls on the wp-content/uploads/demi-backup-state/ directory, allowing unauthenticated attackers to exploit exposed cryptographic keys. This vulnerability enables attackers to perform arbitrary file copies to their own controlled locations on the server, provided an active restore operation has been initiated. WordPress site administrators using this plugin should prioritize patching to mitigate the risk of unauthorized file access and potential data breaches.
Original NVD Description
The Demi – One Click Demo Import, WP Backup & Site Migration plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Arbitrary Directory Copy in all versions up to, and including, 0.0.8 via the handle_restore_step function. This is due to missing HTTP access controls on the wp-content/uploads/demi-backup-state/ directory, which exposes the cryptographic restore key used to both authenticate the unauthenticated AJAX handler and forge signed restore-state envelopes. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to copy arbitrary files to attacker-controlled destinations on the server. An active restore operation must have been initiated, which writes the .restore_key and .restore_step_token files to the public upload directory, before the exposed secrets can be harvested and chained to achieve unauthenticated arbitrary file copy.
