Missing Authorization vulnerability in Migrate Clone allows Exploiting Incorrectly Configured Access Control Security Levels.This issue affects Clone: from n/a through 2.4.5.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · moderate confidence

This is a missing authorization vulnerability in the Migrate Clone plugin (likely a WordPress migration/duplication plugin). The flaw allows attackers to exploit incorrectly configured access control security levels, potentially bypassing authorization checks to perform actions they should not have permission to perform.

MitigationUpdate to the latest version of Migrate Clone (beyond 2.4.5) when available, and conduct a thorough code review to identify and remediate all locations where authorization checks are missing or improperly implemented.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Verify Backupbliss Clone plugin is installed
    In WordPress admin, go to Plugins > Installed Plugins and look for 'Backupbliss Clone' or 'Migrate Clone' in the list of active plugins
    Affected if The plugin appears in the installed plugins list and is activated
  2. Check installed plugin version
    Click on the plugin name in the WordPress plugins list to view its details, or inspect the plugin header in wp-content/plugins/backupbliss-clone/backupbliss-clone.php for the 'Version' field
    Affected if The version number displayed is lower than 2.4.6 (e.g., 2.4.5, 2.4.4, etc.)
  3. Confirm plugin is accessible to untrusted users
    Review WordPress user roles and capabilities. Check if any user role other than Administrator has access to the plugin's admin menu or if the plugin exposes any public-facing endpoints (check for rewrite rules or AJAX actions starting with 'backupbliss_' or 'migrate_clone_')
    Affected if Non-administrator users have access to the plugin functionality or the plugin registers publicly accessible AJAX or REST endpoints without capability checks

You are affected if Backupbliss Clone or Migrate Clone plugin is installed with a version lower than 2.4.6 and the plugin or its features are accessible to users without administrator privileges.
