Summary

CVE-2023-5982 is a vulnerability affecting the UpdraftPlus: WordPress Backup & Migration Plugin. Versions up to and including 1.23.10 are susceptible to Cross-Site Request Forgery. The issue arises due to a lack of nonce validation and insufficient validation of the instance_id during the 'updraftmethod-googledrive-auth' action.
