BackWPup vulnerabilities

The BackWPup WordPress plugin before 5.7.5 does not properly restrict access to several of its REST API routes for job, backup-destination, and backup-execution management, allowing users holding a plugin-defined, administrator-assigned limited role to create and run backup jobs and exfiltrate a full database backup to an attacker-controlled destination.

A Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the BackWPup plugin for WordPress versions up to 5.7.4. An unauthenticated attacker can inject a malicious script.

The BackWPup – WordPress Backup & Restore Plugin (versions up to and including 5.5.0) is vulnerable to unauthorized access of data due to a missing capability check on the 'backwpup_working' AJAX action. An authenticated attacker with Subscriber-level access or above can retrieve a backup's filename while a backup is running.
