Vulnerability & Patch Roundup — September 2026
Sucuri's September 2026 roundup covers WordPress plugin patches including unauthenticated DoS in WooCommerce and arbitrary shortcode execution in WPForms.
Broken access control in All-in-One WP Migration and Backup plugin allows admin takeover
All-in-One WP Migration and Backup before version 7.111 performs no capability check on several of its AJAX actions, protecting them only with an installation-wide secret that the plugin discloses to any user permitted to export the site. A user holding that export permission — for example, a role an administrator delegated export to — can therefore call the AJAX import actions and load an arbitrary site archive, since import capability is gated only on knowledge of the secret. Importing a crafted archive grants the attacker full administrator access to the WordPress site. Only sites running a version before 7.111 where an administrator has granted the export capability to a role that lacks the plugin's import capability are affected, which is not a default configuration. No public proof-of-concept, in-the-wild exploitation, or KEV listing is currently known.
What to do: Update the All-in-One WP Migration and Backup plugin to version 7.111 or later. Audit role capabilities and revoke the plugin's export permission from any role that does not also hold import capability, and review recently created or modified administrator accounts for signs of unauthorized imports.
| Product | Affected |
|---|---|
| ServMask All-in-One WP Migration and Backup (WordPress plugin) | All versions before 7.111 |
Order-of-magnitude estimate by the model from install counts, market share and public scan data it knows; verify before quoting.
The All-in-One WP Migration and Backup WordPress plugin before 7.111 does not perform any capability check on several of its AJAX actions, gating them only on an installation-wide secret which it discloses to any user permitted to export the site, allowing such a user to import an arbitrary site archive and gain administrator access. Exploitation requires an administrator to have granted the export capability to a role that does not hold the All-in-One WP Migration and Backup WordPress plugin before 7.111's own import capability, which is not a default configuration.
