Database Backup For Wordpress
Monthly
Unauthenticated attackers can export complete database tables from WordPress Multisite installations running Database Backup for WordPress plugin ≤2.5.2, exposing credentials, user data, and site content. The vulnerability stems from improper enforcement of authorization check return values, bypassing security controls. Exploitation is limited to legacy WordPress Multisite environments using the deprecated is_site_admin() function. CVSS 7.5 (High) with network attack vector and no authentication required. No CISA KEV listing indicates limited widespread exploitation, though the unauthenticated remote access vector presents significant risk for affected configurations.
Arbitrary file read and deletion in Database Backup for WordPress (versions ≤2.5.2) allows unauthenticated attackers on WordPress Multisite installations to access sensitive files and potentially achieve site takeover. The vulnerability stems from improper authorization enforcement combined with user-controlled backup directory parameters, exploitable only in Multisite environments using the deprecated is_site_admin() function. CVSS 8.1 with high attack complexity (AC:H) reflects the Multisite-only prerequisite. No CISA KEV listing indicates limited observed exploitation despite the critical authorization bypass nature.
Authorization bypass in Database Backup for WordPress plugin (≤2.5.2) enables unauthenticated attackers to redirect scheduled backup files to publicly accessible directories and retrieve them before cleanup. By poisoning the wp_db_temp_dir parameter via wp-cron.php, attackers can intercept database backups containing credentials, password hashes, and PII. Backup filenames follow predictable patterns (database name, table prefix, date, Swatch Internet Time), making interception reliable. Exploitation requires administrator-configured scheduled backups but no authentication or user interaction (CVSS AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N). EPSS and KEV data not provided; Wordfence-reported vulnerability with publicly accessible source code references enabling attack reproduction.
