WordPress Plugin Vulnerabilities
WP STAGING WordPress Backup Plugin – Migration Backup Restore < 3.2.0 - Unauthorized Sensitive Data Exposure
Description
The plugin allows access to cache files during the cloning process which provides
unauthorized access to sensitive data
Proof of Concept
1) When an admin creates a staging site, an attacker can capture a `.cache` file which reveals sensitive information including: DB_name, DB_tables, DB_columns. 2) These files can be accessed at these URLs during backup: - http://127.0.0.1/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/wp-staging/clone_options.cache - http://127.0.0.1/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/wp-staging/files_to_copy.cache
