| Exploitation Conditions | The input description and CWE-201 indicate the plugin inserts sensitive information into data it sends to clients, but the advisory does NOT name the specific endpoint, feature, or configuration that triggers the exposure, so the exact precondition cannot be confirmed from available data. Based on the CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N), exploitation requires only network access to a WordPress site with SafeSnap - Verified WordPress Backup & Restore version 2.1.2 or earlier installed and active; no authentication, no user interaction, and no non-default configuration are indicated. The primary limiting factor is deployment: only sites running this specific, relatively uncommon plugin at a vulnerable version are affected. |
| Impact | The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/C:H/I:N/A:N, base 7.5) describes a network-reachable, low-complexity, unauthenticated flaw with high confidentiality impact and no integrity or availability effect - a classic information-disclosure signature consistent with CWE-201 (sensitive information inserted into sent data). The real-world priority signals are thin: there is no EPSS probability supplied, the CVE is not on the CISA KEV list, and no public proof-of-concept is referenced, so this is a high-CVSS issue without evidence of active or imminent exploitation. The single source is Patchstack, a credible WordPress-focused research outfit, which lends confidence to the technical classification but the Patchstack advisory is the only reference and no independent vendor advisory is linked. Net: treat as a moderate, patch-on-normal-cycle item rather than an emergency - the unauthenticated network vector justifies attention, but absence of EPSS, KEV, and POC signals, combined with the niche plugin footprint, argues against widespread opportunistic exploitation. Note also that the description does not specify WHAT sensitive data is exposed or under what conditions, which limits precise risk scoring - verify specifics with the Patchstack database entry. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | A remote, unauthenticated attacker sends crafted requests to a WordPress site running the SafeSnap backup plugin (version 2.1.2 or earlier) and retrieves sensitive data the plugin inadvertently includes in its responses - plausibly backup contents, paths, or configuration metadata. No special privileges or user interaction are required (PR:N/UI:N). No public exploit code is identified at time of analysis, so exploitation would currently require independent research. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 06, 2026
Unauthenticated sensitive data exposure in SafeSnap - Verified WordPress Backup & Restore 2.1.2 and earlier allows remote attackers to retrieve confidential information from affected WordPress sites. The flaw, tracked as CVE-2026-41559 and categorized as CWE-201 (insertion of sensitive information into sent data), has a CVSS base score of 7.5 with a vector of AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N, indicating high confidentiality impact without requiring authentication or user interaction. No public exploit code or active exploitation was identified at time of analysis, but the low complexity and network reachability make timely patching important.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch was identified in the provided intelligence at time of analysis; the advisory does not specify a fixed version. Administrators should immediately check for a patched release of SafeSnap - Verified WordPress Backup & Restore and upgrade to the latest available version, as versions up to and including 2.1.2 are vulnerable. If no patched version is available from the vendor, consider temporarily deactivating the plugin until a fix is published, recognizing that this will disable backup and restore functionality. Restricting network access to the WordPress site (e.g., via IP allowlisting, a web application firewall, or VPN) can reduce exposure but is impractical for public-facing sites. Monitor the Patchstack advisory page at https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/safesnap/vulnerability/wordpress-safesnap-verified-wordpress-backup-restore-plugin-2-1-2-sensitive-data-exposure-vulnerability for updates and apply the vendor's patch as soon as it becomes available.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The vulnerability resides in the SafeSnap - Verified WordPress Backup & Restore WordPress plugin, which is used to create and restore site backups. CWE-201 describes a situation where an application unintentionally includes sensitive information in data that is sent to a client or user, such as an API response, HTML page, or other outbound data stream. In this case, the plugin's code likely returns backup-related metadata, file paths, database credentials, or other confidential details in a response that is accessible without authentication. The affected CPE string identifies the product as 'pluginjoy:safesnap_-_verified_wordpress_backup_&_restore' and the version range as all versions up to and including 2.1.2. The CVSS vector confirms network exploitability (AV:N), low attack complexity (AC:L), no privileges required (PR:N), no user interaction (UI:N), and high confidentiality impact (C:H) with no integrity or availability impact (I:N/A:N). The specific endpoint or feature that triggers the exposure is not named in the available advisory, so the exact precondition cannot be confirmed from the provided data.

DescriptionCVE.org
Unauthenticated Sensitive Data Exposure in SafeSnap - Verified WordPress Backup & Restore <= 2.1.2 versions.
Executive ViewAI
SafeSnap - Verified WordPress Backup & Restore version 2.1.2 and earlier exposes confidential site data, including the contents of backup archives, to any unauthenticated remote party capable of reaching the affected WordPress instance. Because backup files typically contain full database exports - customer records, password hashes, API credentials and order history - a single successful request could constitute a reportable data breach affecting customers and third parties, with follow-on regulatory and contractual consequences. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis and no vendor-released patch exists, so exposure currently hinges on whether the plugin is present, reachable and unguarded across the WordPress estate.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: deactivate or remove SafeSnap - Verified WordPress Backup & Restore 2.1.2 or earlier on all instances; where it must stay enabled, block external access to its backup/download endpoints at the WAF, reverse proxy or web server layer and allowlist administrative IP ranges only; move all backup archives out of web-accessible directories into access-controlled storage; rotate credentials, keys and tokens captured in existing backups; and monitor logs for anomalous requests to plugin endpoints until a fixed version is available.
