WordPress · File Manager · 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.
