Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2024-43268 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: WPBackItUp Backup and Restore WordPress. 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-2024-43268/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-43268/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-43268","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-43268/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-43268","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-rw84-778g-54fc"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress backup plugin","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"An attacker can bypass access controls in the WPBackItUp WordPress plugin to perform unauthorized actions.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Patchstack","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":5.4,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-862","name":"Missing Authorization"}],"description":"Access Control vulnerability in WPBackItUp Backup and Restore WordPress allows .\n\nThis issue affects Backup and Restore WordPress: from n/a through 1.50.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"WordPress Backup and Restore WordPress plugin \u003c= 1.50 - Broken Access Control vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-43268","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"missing_authorization","year":"2024"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"WordPress Backup and Restore WordPress plugin \u003c= 1.50 - Cross Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-43269"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"WordPress Mega Addons For Elementor plugin \u003c= 1.9 - Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-43267"},"products":["Backup and Restore WordPress"],"published":"2024-11-01","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-04-28","vendors":["WPBackItUp"]},"summary":"An attacker can bypass access controls in the WPBackItUp WordPress plugin to perform unauthorized actions.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-43268/"}
