| Exploitation Conditions | No special conditions - remote unauthenticated exploitation against default configurations of the Inisev Backup Migration WordPress plugin at versions ≤ 2.1.1, consistent with the CVSS vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N. Practical limits on exploitation are that the target WordPress site must have the Backup Migration plugin installed and activated and the vulnerable endpoint or backup storage path must be reachable from the attacker's network (i.e., not blocked by an upstream WAF, IP allowlist, or HTTP auth in front of wp-content/plugins/backup-backup/); the specific endpoint that triggers the disclosure is not detailed in the supplied data and should be confirmed against the Patchstack advisory. |
| Impact | The CVSS 3.1 vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N indicates a network-reachable, low-complexity, unauthenticated read primitive with high confidentiality impact and no integrity or availability effect - a profile that is straightforward to weaponize at scale against internet-exposed WordPress sites once an endpoint is identified. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and the CVE is not present in CISA KEV, and no EPSS score, SSVC decision, or PoC indicator was supplied in the input. Real-world risk is meaningful because confidentiality impact on a backup plugin typically translates to disclosure of database dumps and wp-config secrets, but priority should be tempered by the fact that exploitation activity is not yet confirmed; treat as high-priority patch-when-able rather than emergency until a PoC or KEV listing appears. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker enumerates WordPress sites running the Backup Migration plugin (e.g., via the readme.txt fingerprint under /wp-content/plugins/backup-backup/) and issues an unauthenticated HTTP request to the vulnerable plugin endpoint or backup storage location, receiving sensitive data such as configuration values, database contents, or backup archive metadata in the response. The disclosed material - particularly wp-config.php credentials or database dumps - is then used to pivot to full site takeover by logging in as an administrator or connecting directly to the database. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the AC:L/PR:N/UI:N profile makes scripted mass scanning trivial once an endpoint is identified. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Jun 15, 2026
Unauthenticated sensitive data exposure in the Inisev Backup Migration WordPress plugin (versions through 2.1.1) allows remote attackers to retrieve confidential information without credentials or user interaction. Patchstack rates the issue at CVSS 7.5 with high confidentiality impact; no public exploit identified at time of analysis and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis from the supplied references; administrators should consult the Patchstack advisory (https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/backup-backup/vulnerability/wordpress-backup-migration-plugin-2-1-1-sensitive-data-exposure-vulnerability) for the fixed version once published and upgrade Backup Migration beyond 2.1.1 as soon as it is available. In the interim, deactivate and remove the Backup Migration plugin on internet-facing WordPress sites that do not actively need it (trade-off: loss of scheduled backup automation - replace with a server-side backup such as wp-cli db export via cron, or a different maintained plugin), or place the WordPress admin and wp-content/plugins/backup-backup/ paths behind IP allowlisting or HTTP Basic auth at the web server / WAF layer (trade-off: blocks legitimate remote admin access from unlisted networks). Additionally, rotate any secrets that may already have been exposed - wp-config.php database credentials, AUTH/SECURE_AUTH/LOGGED_IN/NONCE keys and salts, and any API tokens stored in options - since CWE-201 disclosures are not retroactively contained by patching alone.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Backup Migration is a WordPress plugin by Inisev (CPE cpe:2.3:a:inisev:backup_migration) used to create and restore site backups, which means it routinely handles archives containing database dumps, wp-config.php credentials, salts, and uploaded files. The flaw is classified as CWE-201 (Insertion of Sensitive Information Into Sent Data), indicating that the plugin emits sensitive content over an output channel - typically an HTTP response, log, or downloadable artifact - to a requester who should not receive it. Combined with the unauthenticated CVSS vector, this points to a plugin endpoint, REST route, or backup storage location that is reachable over the network without proper access checks.

DescriptionCVE.org
Unauthenticated Sensitive Data Exposure in Backup Migration <= 2.1.1 versions.
Executive ViewAI
The Inisev Backup Migration WordPress plugin (versions through 2.1.1) contains an unauthenticated vulnerability that exposes sensitive backup data to unauthorized remote access. Any WordPress site running this plugin is at immediate risk of confidential information theft without requiring credentials or user interaction. Organizations must immediately identify and remediate affected instances to prevent potential data breach exposure.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: (1) Disable plugin immediately to prevent remote access; (2) Implement network-based access controls to backup files and WordPress admin directories; (3) Apply Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules to block requests to backup-related endpoints if removal is not immediately feasible; (4) Conduct forensic review of backup file access logs for evidence of unauthorized retrieval; (5) Rotate credentials for any accounts managed by backup systems.
