description
BackWPup versions before 5.7.7 mishandle archive entry destinations during backup restoration when the fallback archive library is used. A high-privileged user able to perform such a restore may write files outside the restore directory and potentially achieve code execution.
mitigation
Upgrade BackWPup to version 5.7.7 or later. Restrict backup-restore privileges to trusted administrators until the upgrade is complete.
fixed in 5.7.7
outcome
Check only, differential: the check fires on the vulnerable build and is silent on the patched one.
