DESCRIPTION:
Two vulnerabilities have been discovered in the BackWPup plugin for
WordPress, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a
vulnerable system.
Input passed via the "wpabs" parameter to
wp-content/plugins/backwpup/app/options-view_log-iframe.php (when
"logfile" is set to an existing file) and to
wp-content/plugins/backwpup/app/options-runnow-iframe.php (when
"jobid" is set to a numeric value) is not properly verified before
being used to include files. This can be exploited to include
arbitrary files from remote resources placed on a SMB share.
The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 1.5.2. Other versions
may also be affected.
SOLUTION:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly verified.
