Exploitation Conditions

Requires only that the target WordPress site has the Web Plura Backup & Restore Manager plugin (version 0.2.25 or earlier) installed and active; per the CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) exploitation is remote and unauthenticated with no user interaction against a default install. The input does not specify a particular feature, setting, or configuration mode as a precondition, so the exposed data path appears reachable without special configuration. The principal limiting factor is product scope: only sites running this specific, low-footprint plugin are affected, and impact is confined to confidentiality (C:H, I:N, A:N) - no data modification or availability loss. No fixed version was provided in the input, so upgrade guidance should be verified against the vendor/Patchstack advisory.

Impact

The input CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N, base 7.5 HIGH) describes a remotely reachable, low-complexity, unauthenticated confidentiality-only exposure, which is internally consistent with the CWE-201 (sensitive information in sent data) classification and the 'Unauthenticated Sensitive Data Exposure' description. No EPSS score was provided in the input, so exploitation probability cannot be quantified. The vulnerability is NOT listed in CISA KEV and no public exploit code is referenced, so there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis. The only intelligence source is a single Patchstack advisory; there is no independent corroboration, no CVSS temporal/exploit-maturity data, and no confirmed in-the-wild activity. Net assessment: the raw 7.5 reflects easy unauthenticated remote access to sensitive data, but real-world priority is tempered by the apparent niche footprint of this specific WordPress plugin and the absence of any exploitation or POC signal - treat as a genuine confidentiality risk for the (likely small) population running this plugin rather than a broad emergency. No direct contradictions exist between the CVSS vector and description; the main gap is the lack of EPSS/KEV/POC telemetry to gauge likelihood.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

A remote, unauthenticated attacker sends a request to a WordPress site running Web Plura Backup & Restore Manager <= 0.2.25 and retrieves sensitive data (such as backup contents or configuration/credential material) that the plugin improperly exposes. Because the CVSS vector is AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N, no login, user interaction, or special timing is required. No public exploit code is identified at time of analysis, so exploitation would require an attacker to independently identify the exposed endpoint or data path.

AnalysisAIv1 – Oct 10, 2026

Unauthenticated sensitive data exposure in the Web Plura Backup & Restore Manager plugin for WordPress (versions 0.2.25 and earlier) allows remote attackers to read potentially sensitive backup-related information from affected sites. Exploitation requires only that the plugin is installed and active, per the CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) confirming remote, low-complexity, unauthenticated access with no user interaction; impact is limited to confidentiality (C:H/I:N/A:N). No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the affected install base is limited to sites running this specific low-footprint plugin.

RemediationAI

No vendor-released patch was identified in the provided input, so administrators should verify the latest version against the Patchstack advisory. If the plugin is not essential, deactivate and remove it to eliminate exposure, though this may disrupt backup workflows. If it must remain active, restrict access to the plugin's directory (e.g., /wp-content/plugins/web-plura-backup-restore-manager/) and any associated REST API or admin-ajax endpoints using WAF rules or server-level IP allowlisting; this may break legitimate functionality if the vulnerable endpoint is needed by the plugin's own UI. Monitor web server logs for requests to plugin files for signs of data harvesting. Apply the vendor patch as soon as it is released, and consult the advisory at https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/web-plura-backup-restore-manager/vulnerability/wordpress-web-plura-backup-restore-manager-plugin-0-2-25-sensitive-data-exposure-vulnerability?_s_id=cve for updates.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The vulnerability resides in a WordPress plugin, Web Plura Backup & Restore Manager, which handles backup and restore operations. CWE-201 (Insertion of Sensitive Information Into Sent Data) indicates that the plugin transmits sensitive information-such as backup file paths, database credentials, or configuration details-in responses without adequate access control. The CPE cpe:2.3:a:web_plura:web_plura_backup_&amp;_restore_manager:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* with an asterisk suggests the CPE does not specify a version bound, but the advisory explicitly states versions up to and including 0.2.25 are affected. The CVSS vector shows an unauthenticated network-based attack (PR:N) with no user interaction, meaning an attacker can directly request the vulnerable endpoint. The root cause class is improper control of data sent to users, likely an exposed REST API route or AJAX action that returns sensitive data without capability checks.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

WordPress sites running the Web Plura Backup & Restore Manager plugin (version 0.2.25 and earlier) can be probed by any anonymous internet user to extract backup-related information, including potentially sensitive configuration or credential material, without needing an account or any user interaction. The plugin has a narrow install base, so the exposure is concentrated rather than organization-wide, but because no vendor patch exists yet, affected sites remain exposed until the plugin is removed or otherwise isolated. Leadership should care because leaked backup data frequently yields downstream access to databases, storage credentials, and customer records, and remediation currently depends on operational action rather than a vendor fix.

Business Impact: Medium
Compensating Controls

No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: deactivate or uninstall the affected plugin, restrict access to backup directories and plugin endpoints via web server authentication or IP allowlisting, apply WAF or reverse-proxy rules to block unauthenticated requests to those endpoints, rotate any credentials or secrets that may have been stored in reachable backup files, and monitor logs for anomalous retrieval of backup artifacts.
