Exploitation Conditions

The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) indicates no authentication, user interaction, or special configuration is required - remote unauthenticated exploitation against affected installations of the Norvis Backup WordPress plugin (versions <= 1.1.0). The primary limiting factor is deployment: the site must actually run this specific, low-prevalence plugin at a vulnerable version. The input description does not name the exact vulnerable endpoint, parameter, or whether a non-default setting (e.g., a particular backup-storage or sharing mode) is involved, so the precise trigger could not be extracted and should be verified against the Patchstack advisory; no evidence suggests a non-default configuration is required.

Impact

The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/C:H/I:N/A:N, base 7.5 HIGH) signals a remotely reachable, low-complexity, unauthenticated flaw with high confidentiality impact but no integrity or availability impact - consistent with a pure information-disclosure issue (CWE-201). All signals point the same direction on ease of access, but the real-world priority is tempered by missing exploitation-intelligence signals: no EPSS score was provided, the vulnerability is NOT on the CISA KEV list, and no public proof-of-concept is indicated in the input. Thus there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and no confirmation of active exploitation. The disclosing source is Patchstack (a reputable WordPress-focused vulnerability database), which lends credibility to the finding, but the one-line description does not name the specific endpoint, parameter, or data exposed, so the exact sensitivity of the leaked data cannot be confirmed from available data. Net assessment: easy to exploit if an attacker targets a vulnerable site, but likely moderate rather than top-tier priority given the plugin's apparently small footprint and absence of exploitation evidence - patch on a normal cadence unless the affected plugin is confirmed present, in which case prioritize due to the unauthenticated nature.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

A remote, unauthenticated attacker sends a crafted HTTP request to a WordPress site running Norvis Backup <= 1.1.0 and retrieves sensitive data (likely backup contents or configuration) that should not be publicly accessible. Because the CVSS vector is AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N, no credentials, user interaction, or special timing are required. No public proof-of-concept is identified at time of analysis.

AnalysisAIv1 – Oct 06, 2026

Unauthenticated information disclosure in the Norvis Backup WordPress plugin (versions up to and including 1.1.0) allows any remote attacker to retrieve sensitive site data without credentials, user interaction, or special configuration, as reflected by the CVSS 3.1 vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N with high confidentiality impact (base 7.5 HIGH) and no integrity or availability impact. The flaw is a CWE-201 sensitive-information-in-sent-data issue in a low-prevalence backup plugin, so exposure is limited to sites actually running this plugin at a vulnerable version. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, and no vendor-released patch version was confirmed in the available data; the sole source is the Patchstack advisory.

RemediationAI

No vendor-released patch or fixed version was identified in the available intelligence; the only supplied reference is the Patchstack advisory (https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/norvis-backup/vulnerability/wordpress-norvis-backup-plugin-1-1-0-sensitive-data-exposure-vulnerability), so the immediate action is to check that record for an updated plugin release and upgrade as soon as one is published. If the plugin is not actively used, deactivate and delete it - backup plugins are not required for normal site operation, and removal eliminates the exposure with no functional trade-off. Where the plugin must remain, deploy compensating controls at the web layer: block external access to backup artifacts and plugin endpoints with WAF or server rules, and restrict requests to /wp-content/plugins/norvis-backup/ and any backup download or export URLs to trusted administrative IP ranges, accepting that this will break legitimate remote or automated backup retrieval. Additional hardening includes storing backups outside the web root, disabling directory listing and direct access to backup directories, rotating any database credentials, salts, and API keys that may have been exposed through the disclosure, and monitoring access logs for enumeration of plugin backup paths. Because exploitation requires no authentication and no user interaction, these protections should be applied before, not after, confirming any intrusion attempt.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The affected component is a WordPress plugin, Norvis Backup, identified by the CPE cpe:2.3:a:norvisgabriel:norvis_backup:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*, which denotes the plugin distribution published under the vendor namespace 'norvisgabriel' with all versions captured by the wildcard. The root-cause class is CWE-201 (Insertion of Sensitive Information Into Sent Data), meaning the vulnerability is not an injection or memory-safety defect but a design/implementation error in which data the application should keep confidential is included in a response sent to the requester. Backup plugins are inherently sensitive because they routinely handle database dumps, wp-config.php credentials, user tables, and archived site files, so any endpoint that returns or streams such content without an authorization or capability check produces a high-confidentiality, no-integrity, no-availability impact profile exactly matching the assessed vector (C:H/I:N/A:N). The CVSS vector's PR:N and UI:N values indicate the disclosure path is reachable without authentication and without tricking a victim into an action; the assessment notes that the specific vulnerable endpoint, parameter, and any dependency on backup-storage or sharing configuration could not be extracted from the available description and should be confirmed against the Patchstack advisory, while no evidence points to a non-default configuration being required.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

A high-severity information disclosure flaw in the Norvis Backup WordPress plugin (versions up to and including 1.1.0) lets any remote attacker pull sensitive site data without credentials, user interaction, or special configuration. Because the plugin is low-prevalence, exposure is confined to the subset of our web estate actually running it, but any affected site could leak backup-related or site configuration data that fuels follow-on attacks or credential abuse. Leadership should treat this as a contained but removable risk pending a vendor fix, prioritized by which business-critical sites carry the plugin.

Business Impact: Medium
Compensating Controls

No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: deactivate and remove the Norvis Backup plugin (versions up to and including 1.1.0) from all WordPress installations; where removal is impossible, deny external access to the plugin's endpoints via web server or reverse-proxy rules and apply virtual patching or a WAF ruleset covering the known disclosure path; restrict and monitor outbound and administrative access on affected hosts; and review web and application logs for anomalous data retrieval attempts until the plugin can be permanently removed or a vendor fix is applied.
