Synopsis

BulletProof Security Plugin for WordPress < 5.2 Sensitive Information Disclosure

Description

The WordPress BulletProof Security Plugin installed on the remote host is affected by a sensitive information disclosure vulnerability due to a file path disclosure in the publicly accessible ~/db_backup_log.txt file which grants attackers the full path of the site, in addition to the path of database backup files.

Note that the scanner has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to BulletProof Security Plugin for WordPress 5.2 or latest.
