CVE-2024-0761

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions File Manager plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 7.2.1

Description The issue is related to Sensitive Information Exposure due to insufficient randomness in backup filenames, which are generated using a timestamp plus 4 random digits. This allows unauthenticated attackers to extract sensitive data, including site backups, in configurations where the .htaccess file does not block access to the directory.

Recommendations For versions up to, and including, 7.2.1, update to a version later than 7.2.1 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the backup directory by configuring the .htaccess file to block unauthorized access.
