Description

The WordPress Backup and Migration plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to a missing capability check on the wt_save_import_settings function in all versions up to, and including, 1.4.3. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to perform a settings update. CVE-2023-52183 appears to be a duplicate of this issue.
