This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Administrator-level access and above, to upload arbitrary files on the affected site's server which may make remote code execution possible. NOTE: Uploaded files are only accessible on WordPress instances running on the NGINX web server as the existing .htaccess within the target file upload folder prevents access on Apache servers.","published":"2025-07-03T14:15:34.000Z","lastModified":"2026-06-17T09:49:06.000Z","status":"Analyzed","sourceIdentifier":"security@wordfence.com","cvss":{"version":"3.1","score":7.2,"severity":"HIGH","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H"},"cwe":["CWE-434"],"affected":["wpvivid/migration\\, backup\\, staging"],"epss":{"score":0.55467,"percentile":0.99029,"date":"2026-10-26","history":[{"date":"2026-09-23","score":0.60416,"percentile":0.99103},{"date":"2026-10-04","score":0.55467,"percentile":0.99011}]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":0,"verified":false,"firstPublished":null,"source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[]},"verdict":{"level":"urgent","text":"EPSS puts the probability of exploitation in the next 30 days at 55.5%, higher than 99% of all known CVEs.
