CVE-2025-12656

Description

The Migration, Backup, Staging – WPvivid Backup & Migration plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary directory deletion due to insufficient file path validation in the delete_cancel_staging_site() function in all versions up to, and including, 0.9.128. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Administrator-level access and above, to delete arbitrary folders on the server, which leads to a loss of data.
