CVE-2026-101888: Prime Mover Zip Slip path traversal in ZIP import

CVE-2026-101888 · Severity: high · CVSS 7.2 · Published 2026-10-01

Prime Mover is a WordPress backup and migration plugin that transfers WordPress sites between servers. A flaw in how it extracts ZIP files during migration allows authenticated administrators to write arbitrary files anywhere on the server, which could lead to malicious code execution and complete site compromise. An attacker with admin access could craft a specially-formatted backup file to place executable code where it will be run by WordPress.

How to fix

Fixed in: 2.2.1

Technical details

The plugin fails to properly validate ZIP entry names in computeExtractionParameters() and resumableZipExtractor() functions within utilities/PrimeMoverSystemCheckUtilities.php, allowing directory traversal sequences (e.g., "../../../") to escape the intended extraction directory. An authenticated administrator can exploit this Zip Slip vulnerability by crafting a malicious ZIP file with traversal sequences in entry names to write arbitrary files to filesystem locations outside the extraction directory, potentially achieving remote code execution if written files are executed by the web environment.
