Summary

The Backup Bolt plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file downloads and backup location writes in all versions up to and including 1.4.1 via the process_backup_batch() function. An authenticated attacker with Administrator-level access can download directories outside the webroot and write backup zip files to arbitrary locations.

Risk Assessment

An attacker with administrator privileges can access files outside the web directory, including configuration or sensitive data. This can lead to full site takeover or data leakage.

Recommendation

Update the Backup Bolt plugin to a version later than 1.4.1 once the vendor releases a fix. Until then, restrict administrator privileges and monitor for unusual file operations.
