An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2022-31474 exists.\n\nAffected product: iThemes BackupBuddy. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-31474/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-31474/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-31474","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-31474/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-31474","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-mvpf-v9m4-52gp"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"none","summary":"An attacker can exploit a path traversal vulnerability in the BackupBuddy plugin to read arbitrary files from the server.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Patchstack","cpe":[{"product":"backupbuddy","vendor":"ithemes"}],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-22","name":"Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory"}],"description":"Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal') vulnerability in iThemes BackupBuddy allows Path Traversal.This issue affects BackupBuddy: from 8.5.8.0 through 8.7.4.1.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":1,"refs":[{"date":null,"kind":"nuclei","ref":"http/cves/2022/CVE-2022-31474.yaml","stars":null,"title":"BackupBuddy - Local File Inclusion"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"WordPress BackupBuddy Plugin 8.5.8.0-8.7.4.1 is vulnerable to Directory Traversal","id":"CVE-2022-31474","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"path_traversal","year":"2022"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"WordPress GiveWP plugin \u003c= 2.20.2 - Authenticated Arbitrary File Read via Export function vulnerability","id":"CVE-2022-31475"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"BIG-IP APM Appliance mode vulnerability CVE-2022-31473","id":"CVE-2022-31473"},"products":["BackupBuddy"],"published":"2023-03-13","related":[{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Missing authorization in n/a","id":"CVE-2013-2741","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2013-04-02"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Missing authorization in n/a","id":"CVE-2013-2742","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2013-04-02"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Auth bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2013-2743","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2013-04-02"},{"cvss_score":6.1,"headline":"BackupBuddy \u003c 8.8.3 - Multiple Reflected Cross-Site Scripting","id":"CVE-2022-4897","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-02-21"},{"cvss_score":5,"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2013-2744","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2013-04-02"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"MIT","name":"Nuclei templates"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"yes","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-04-28","vendors":["iThemes"]},"summary":"An attacker can exploit a path traversal vulnerability in the BackupBuddy plugin to read arbitrary files from the server.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-31474/"}
