# Exploit Title: WordPress Backup plugin exposes site data # Google Dork: http://www.google.com/search?q=inurl:wp-content/backup.log* # Date: 01-jul-2012 # Exploit Author: Stephan Knauss # Vendor Homepage: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/backup/ # Software Link: http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/backup.2.0.1.zip # Version: 2.0.1 About Plugin: ============= Backup is a plugin that provides backup capabilities for WordPress. Backups are zip archives created locally and uploaded to a folder of your choosing on Google Drive. Weakness: ========= The default configuration exposes a logfile with filenames of the actual backups. The backup files are available for download once the name is extracted from this logfile. Depending on the settings this gives access to a copy of the WordPress database, wp-content, uploads, plugins or complete site. Fix: ==== Local folder path setting should be set to a value that can not be guessed by default. Until a fix is available it is up to the user of the plugin to configure it accordingly. Detection and Google Dork: ========================== Blog is vulnerable if http://www.example.com/wp-content/backup/backup.log exists. Usually the logfile is not indexed. Still possibe to match in rare occasions: http://www.google.com/search?q=inurl:wp-content/backup.log* or trace back vulnerable blogs from logfiles being posted http://www.google.com/search?q="Attempting+to+create+archive"+"wp-content/backup/" Relevance: ========== Plugin is downloaded 15.000 times, with a download rate of currently 400 downloads a day. |
