Descriptions

The WP Database Backup plugin through 5.5 for WordPress stores downloads by default locally in the directory wp-content/uploads/db-backup/. This might allow attackers to read ZIP archives by guessing random ID numbers, guessing date strings with a 2020_{0..1}{0..2}_{0..3}{0..9} format, guessing UNIX timestamps, and making HTTPS requests with the complete guessed URL.

El plugin WP Database Backup versiones hasta 5.5 para WordPress, por defecto almacena descargas localmente en el directorio wp-content/uploads/db-backup/. Esto podría permitir a atacantes leer archivos ZIP al adivinar los números de ID aleatorios, adivinando cadenas de fecha con un formato 2020_{0..1}{0..2}_{0..3}{0..9}, adivinando las marcas de tiempo UNIX y realizar peticiones HTTPS con la URL adivinada completa.
