1.23.11 – 03/Nov/2023

• SECURITY: Fix a vulnerability which could, if you had Google Drive storage enabled, and if an attacker targetted a logged-in administrator on your site and persuaded them to access a specific URL that the attacker creates, add the attacker’s own Google Drive account to the saved storage methods.

• TWEAK: Add type checking in UpdraftPlus::handle_url_actions() to prevent plugin conflicts causing PHP errors on PHP 8+

1.23.10 – 05/Sep/2023

1.23.4 – 16/May/2023

• SECURITY: Fixed a missing nonce combined with a URL sanitisation failure, which could lead to a targeted XSS opportunity (if an attacker persuades a logged-in administrator to both re-authorise their connection to a remote storage (e.g. Dropbox) and then to follow a link personally crafted for their site before re-authorising whilst logged in, he can then store a fixed JavaScript payload in the WP admin area (they would need a further route to use that ability to cause any damage). Because of the need for the administrator to co-operate in multiple steps, this attack is very unlikely (but you should of course still update).
• FIX: DigitalOcean S3-compatible storage does not work with disabled SSL entirely where possible settings.
• FIX: If there was an error or network connectivity issue on first attempt of uploading a plugin/theme file, then the second attempt of uploading the same file would make the file become corrupted thus resulting in installation failure.

• COMPATIBILITY: Suppress some PHP 8.2 deprecation notices from use of ${} style variables, and others from use of dynamic properties
• TWEAK: Handle web hosting company setup that disabled pclose() but not popen()
• TWEAK: All HTTP requests to the Google Drive API now, by default, forces to use HTTP/1.1 version. Also, a constant named UPDRAFTPLUS_GDRIVE_CURL_HTTP_VERSION can be set in the wp-config.php file to change the default HTTP version to another preferred version

• FIX: A database backup couldn’t be taken from WP-Optimize and All-In-One Security (AIOS) (regression)
• TWEAK: Add a user capabilities check when downloading a backup (this is not believed to have any security implications, as the download operation already requires knowledge of a further nonce that there is no mechanism for a non-administrator to obtain).
• TWEAK: Improve the Handlebars template of the UpdraftVault remote storage by taking PHP code out of it
• TWEAK: Prevent making a nonce available to logged-in users who could not manage UpdraftPlus (this did not give access to any unauthorised actions)
• TWEAK: Improve the Handlebars template of the UpdraftVault remote storage by taking PHP code out of it
• TWEAK: Improve the Handlebars template of the pCloud remote storage by taking PHP code out of it

• FIX: Sometimes the “delete old directories” notice displayed even though the actual -old directory didn’t exist

• TWEAK: Improve manual rescanning and deletion of backup sets by setting up a time limit to a value defined in UPDRAFTPLUS_SET_TIME_LIMIT constant to minimise chances of getting fatal error (maximum execution time exceeded)
• TWEAK: Add a filter updraftplus_mysqldump_arguments to allow changing of arguments passed to the mysqldump binary when that is being used

On sites running on end-of-lifed PHP versions (<8.0) it was possible to read the beginning of the log file, causing an unintended information disclosure about the server environment, e.g. Apache version, PHP version and available memory (but current PHP versions are not vulnerable).
• TWEAK: Use nonce when starting a new restoration and strengthen the continuation process to prevent direct access that has the potential of being file and/or log abuse
• TWEAK: Improve the WebDAV storage module API in regard to the way it handles uploading and writing files
• TWEAK: Replace the word “Directory” with “Folder” in UI notices
