Summary

The UpdraftPlus: WP Backup & Migration Plugin WordPress plugin before 1.26.8 and before 2.26.8.26 does not perform any capability check in a routine that outputs its stored remote storage settings into admin pages when the site is left in a particular post-migration state. As a result, any authenticated user, such as a subscriber, can retrieve the credentials of the configured backup destinations, such as passwords and secret keys.

Risk Assessment

Exposure of backup destination credentials can allow low-privileged users to access or tamper with backup data, leading to data leakage or loss for the organization.

Recommendation

Update the UpdraftPlus plugin to version 1.26.8 or 2.26.8.26 (or later) and immediately rotate the passwords and secret keys used for the configured backup destinations.
