| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires that the target WordPress site has the SiteVault - Backup, Restore, Migration & Cloning plugin (by royal_plugins) installed and active at version 1.5.17 or earlier; the vulnerability is in the plugin itself, not core WordPress. Per the CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N), no authentication, no user interaction, and no special configuration are required - exposure is reachable remotely against affected installations by default. The primary limiting factor is therefore install base and version: sites on a fixed/later release or without the plugin are unaffected. The exact feature or endpoint that leaks data is not detailed in the provided reference and should be confirmed via 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, base 7.5 HIGH) describes a fully remote, low-complexity, unauthenticated flaw with high confidentiality impact but no integrity or availability impact - consistent with the CWE-201 sensitive data exposure classification and the 'Unauthenticated Sensitive Data Exposure' description from Patchstack. No EPSS score, CISA KEV listing, or public POC was provided in the input, so there is no signal of active exploitation or weaponization; this is no public exploit identified at time of analysis. The realistic priority is moderated by product footprint: this is a specific WordPress backup/migration plugin ('SiteVault' by royal_plugins), not a ubiquitous component, so despite the unauthenticated-read profile that typically attracts opportunistic scanning, mass-scale impact depends on install base. SSVC inputs (exploitation status, automatable, technical impact) were not supplied in the input and cannot be computed here. Net: a genuinely reachable unauthenticated information-disclosure bug worth patching promptly on any affected site, but no current evidence elevating it to emergency status; EPSS/KEV/POC data is MISSING and should be rechecked before deprioritizing. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | A remote, unauthenticated attacker sends crafted HTTP requests to a WordPress site running SiteVault <= 1.5.17 and retrieves sensitive data exposed by the plugin (e.g., backup contents, configuration, or credentials handled during backup/restore/migration operations). Because the CVSS vector is AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N, no authentication, user interaction, or special timing is required. No public proof-of-concept was identified in the provided data. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 06, 2026
Unauthenticated sensitive data exposure in the WordPress plugin SiteVault - Backup, Restore, Migration & Cloning (by royal_plugins) at version 1.5.17 and earlier lets remote attackers retrieve sensitive information from affected sites without authentication, user interaction, or special configuration, as reflected by the CVSS 3.1 vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N (base 7.5 HIGH). Only sites with the plugin installed and active at or below 1.5.17 are exposed; the impact is high confidentiality loss with no integrity or availability effect, consistent with the CWE-201 sensitive-data-exposure classification reported by Patchstack. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, no CISA KEV listing applies, and no EPSS score was supplied, so the practical risk is driven mainly by the plugin's install base and the ease of unauthenticated, low-complexity remote exploitation.
RemediationAI
No fixed version is identified in the supplied data, so treat 1.5.17 as the last known-vulnerable release and check the Patchstack advisory at https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/sitevault-backup-restore-migration/vulnerability/wordpress-sitevault-backup-restore-migration-cloning-plugin-1-5-17-sensitive-data-exposure-vulnerability?_s_id=cve for the vendor-released update; upgrade to the first patched version once it is named and verified. Until a patched release is confirmed available, the most effective compensating control is to deactivate and, if feasible, uninstall the plugin - the trade-off is loss of scheduled backups, restore and migration functionality - or, if it must stay active, restrict it to trusted administrators and block unauthenticated access to its routes at the edge. Concretely, use a WAF or reverse-proxy rule to deny external requests to the plugin directory and its known AJAX/admin-ajax.php actions and to any backup/export/download endpoints while permitting only expected administrative traffic; note that a WAF or IP allow-list can be bypassed or may break legitimate scheduled jobs and admin workflows, so test before enforcement. Restrict administrative access with strong authentication and MFA, and because CWE-201 means sensitive data was emitted, rotate exposed secrets such as database credentials and WordPress security salts, rotate any backup storage keys, and audit web and plugin access logs for requests to the plugin's endpoints to determine whether data was actually retrieved.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The flaw lives in the WordPress plugin SiteVault - Backup, Restore, Migration & Cloning, a backup/restore/migration utility, and is tracked as CWE-201 (Insertion of Sensitive Information Into Sent Data), meaning the application places sensitive content into data it transmits or otherwise makes retrievable without adequate protection. Because such plugins routinely handle database dumps, site configuration, migration manifests and file archives, the affected code path is most likely an endpoint that returns or exposes that content to a requesting party without authorization checks - the exact feature or route is not detailed in the supplied reference and should be confirmed against the Patchstack advisory. The CPE record cpe:2.3:a:royal_plugins:sitevault_-_backup,_restore,_migration_&_cloning:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* confirms the affected component is the plugin from the royal_plugins vendor rather than WordPress core, and the ENISA EUVD entry (EUVD-2026-93088) independently lists the same affected range of versions 1.5.17 and below. The assessed vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N indicates the surface is network-reachable with low attack complexity, requires no privileges or interaction, and yields strictly confidentiality impact within a single security authority.

DescriptionCVE.org
Unauthenticated Sensitive Data Exposure in SiteVault - Backup, Restore, Migration & Cloning <= 1.5.17 versions.
Executive ViewAI
SiteVault - Backup, Restore, Migration & Cloning (royal_plugins) version 1.5.17 and earlier exposes sensitive site data to unauthenticated remote attackers, putting any organization using the plugin on WordPress at risk of confidentiality loss. While no public exploit identified at time of analysis, the lack of a vendor-released patch and the plugin's backup/migration function mean exposed data could include credentials or site content, requiring immediate inventory and containment.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis; interim mitigations include deactivating or removing the vulnerable plugin, blocking access to plugin endpoints with a WAF or edge controls, restricting plugin access by IP allowlist, rotating exposed credentials/secrets, and monitoring logs for unauthenticated requests to plugin paths.
