critical Nessus Plugin ID 74108

Synopsis

The remote web server hosts a PHP script that is affected by an arbitrary command execution vulnerability.

Description

The EZPZ One Click Backup Plugin for WordPress installed on the remote host is affected by a remote command execution vulnerability due to a failure to properly sanitize user-supplied input to the 'cmd' parameter in the ezpz-archive-cmd.php script. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary commands on the remote host, subject to the privileges of the web server user.
