Exploitation Conditions

No authentication, user interaction, or special configuration is required: an unauthenticated remote attacker simply sends a direct HTTP request to specific PHP files bundled with Duplicator or Duplicator Pro that are designed to run within WordPress but, when accessed directly, initialise without their expected context. This affects default installations of the affected versions (Duplicator 5.0.0-5.0.x and Duplicator Pro 5.0.0-5.0.x, before 5.1.0). The main limiting factor is impact, not access: exploitation only yields disclosure of the server's absolute filesystem paths via the resulting PHP fatal-error stack trace - there is no code execution, data modification, or denial of service. Exploitability can also be reduced in deployments where PHP display_errors is disabled or where a WAF/hardening layer blocks direct access to plugin PHP files, since the leak depends on the stack trace being returned to the client.

Impact

This is a genuinely low-to-moderate priority issue despite its NETWORK/unauthenticated CVSS profile. The signals are internally consistent: CVSS 3.1 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) correctly reflects that any unauthenticated remote user can request the affected files, but the impact is capped at C:L/I:N/A:N - a single confidentiality loss (absolute filesystem path disclosure via a stack trace, CWE-209), with no integrity or availability impact. The low-impact nature is corroborated by SSVC (Technical Impact: partial, Exploitation: none) and by a very low EPSS of 0.16% (5th percentile), indicating no meaningful real-world exploitation pressure. The flaw is NOT in CISA KEV and SSVC Exploitation is 'none', so there is no evidence of active exploitation. SSVC does flag Automatable: yes, which is plausible because reaching the files requires only a predictable direct request - but automatability of a path-disclosure bug yields reconnaissance value, not direct compromise. The vuln.today decision label is 'this_month' (not act_now/emergency), which aligns with the picture of a real but non-urgent informational-disclosure defect. The main value of the leaked data is as a stepping stone (absolute paths aid other attacks such as LFI/RFI or log poisoning), not as a standalone breach. No conflicting signals of note; the CVSS vector and the description agree that this is remote and unauthenticated.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An unauthenticated attacker directly requests one of Duplicator's bundled PHP files over HTTP; because the file initialises outside its expected WordPress context, PHP raises a fatal error and returns a stack trace containing the server's absolute filesystem paths. The attacker harvests these paths to map the installation and seed follow-on attacks (e.g. targeting LFI, log, or config locations). A public PoC reference exists (WPScan) but is not verified as working exploit code; attack complexity is low and no user interaction or authentication is needed.

AnalysisAIv1 – Nov 04, 2026

Unauthenticated remote attackers can disclose a WordPress server's absolute filesystem paths by directly requesting PHP files bundled with Duplicator and Duplicator Pro 5.0.0 through 5.0.x, which fatal-error and return a stack trace when loaded outside their expected WordPress context. The issue is a low-severity information leak (CVSS 5.3, CWE-209) with no code execution, data modification, or denial of service; EPSS is 0.16% (5th percentile) and SSVC records no known exploitation, though a public PoC reference exists that is not verified as working exploit code. Vendor patches are available in 5.1.0 for both plugins.

RemediationAI

Upgrade Duplicator and Duplicator Pro to 5.1.0 or later; this is the vendor-released patch covering both plugins (fixed branches are 5.1.0 and above). The WPScan advisory at https://wpscan.com/vulnerability/0c322135-f2a8-495d-986f-b9d626ddc856/ should be consulted for the official notice. Where immediate upgrade is not possible, the leak depends on PHP stack traces being returned to the client, so setting display_errors=Off in production (which suppresses the path disclosure but can complicate legitimate debugging) and blocking direct HTTP access to the plugin's bundled PHP files at the WAF or web-server layer (which may break plugin functionality if the rules are not scoped precisely) reduce exposure. Neither workaround removes the underlying direct-access condition.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The flaw is CWE-209, generation of an error message containing sensitive information, in PHP files shipped inside the Duplicator and Duplicator Pro WordPress plugins. These files are intended to execute within a WordPress request lifecycle; when an unauthenticated client requests them directly over HTTP, they initialise without that context, hit a fatal PHP error, and the resulting stack trace is returned to the client, exposing the server's absolute filesystem paths. CPE data identifies the affected components as duplicator and duplicator-pro. The affected branches are 5.0.0 through 5.0.x before 5.1.0 for both plugins. SSVC marks the issue as automatable but with partial technical impact and no observed exploitation, and EPSS is 0.16% at the 5th percentile.

DescriptionCVE.org

The Duplicator WordPress plugin before 5.1.0, duplicator-pro WordPress plugin before 5.1.0 does not prevent direct access to some of its bundled PHP files, which initialise without their expected context, trigger a fatal error, and return a stack trace that discloses the server's absolute filesystem paths to unauthenticated users.
