WordPress Plugin Vulnerabilities

Export Users to CSV < 1.4 - Unauthorised CSV Access

Description

The plugin exports a CSV file containing sensitive user data.

The generated files are stored in a public directory with a predictable filename based on a Unix timestamp. CSV files are discoverable either through enumeration or path traversal.

Export Users to CSV does not provide visibility over exported CSV files. Generated CSV files are stored indefinitely.
