What the vulnerability is
The WPvivid — Backup, Migration & Staging plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Path Traversal in all versions up to 0.9.137. This is due to insufficient validation of a user supplied path. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with administrator-level access and above, to access files and directories outside of the intended directory.
