What is known
The Duplicator WordPress plugin before 1.3.0 does not properly escape values when its installer script replaces values in WordPress configuration files. If this installer script is left on the site after use, it could be use to run arbitrary code on the server.
Business impact
Successful exploitation of CVE-2018-25095, a critical vulnerability (CVSS 9.8) affecting duplicator, may affect the confidentiality, integrity or availability of the vulnerable environment. The exact impact depends on the installed version, exposed interfaces and deployment configuration.
Recommended administrator action
Confirm whether duplicator is present and compare installed versions with the vendor advisory and NVD record. Apply the vendor patch or documented mitigation; until remediation is complete, reduce exposure of affected interfaces, review relevant logs and monitor for indicators of exploitation.
