In plain English
A high-severity security flaw in Backup Migration from migrate. There are no confirmed reports of exploitation so far. The chance it is exploited in the next 30 days is estimated at 6.4% (higher than 94% of all known vulnerabilities).
Official description
The Backup Migration plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Remote File Inclusion in versions 1.0.8 to 1.3.9 via the 'content-dir' HTTP header. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to include remote files on the server, resulting in code execution. NOTE: Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires that the target server's php.ini is configured with 'allow_url_include' set to 'on'. This feature is deprecated as of PHP 7.4 and is disabled by default, but can still be explicitly enabled in later versions of PHP.
