Q: How do I fix it?

Update ticated administrator can supply a path containing traversal sequences and make the WPvivid to version 0.9.137 or later. That is the complete fix. Until you can update, Request / payload inspection (WAF) in Hack Halt ProSecure contains this class of attack at the request layer.

Q: What can an attacker actually do?

Vulnerability CVE-2026-115242 PLUGIN ticated-administrator-can-supply-a-path-containing-traversal-sequences-and-make-the-wpvivid MEDIUM

The WPvivid — Backup, Migration & Staging WordPress plugin before 0.9.137 does not sanitize the staging destination folder supplied to its staging-start handler, applying only a generic text filter while the sibling writability-check handler applies the correct filename sanitizer, so an authenticated administrator can supply a path containing traversal sequences and make the WPvivid — Backup, Migration & Staging WordPress plugin before 0.9.137 write the copied site files outside the WordPress installation directory.

What to do about this

Patch on your next cycle Worth fixing, but not ahead of other work.

Fix it

Update ticated administrator can supply a path containing traversal sequences and make the WPvivid to 0.9.137 or later.

That is the complete fix. Everything below is what protects you in the meantime.

Cannot update today? Request / payload inspection (WAF) in Hack Halt ProSecure blocks this class of attack before WordPress processes the request.

Inspect request parameters and bodies for injection, traversal and file-inclusion payloads, and refuse the request rather than logging it.
