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

Affects Plugins

Fixed in 3.2.0
