Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions The Better Messages – Live Chat for WordPress plugin versions up to and including 2.6.9

Description The issue allows unauthenticated attackers to extract sensitive data stored insecurely in the /wp-content/uploads/bp-better-messages directory, which can contain file attachments included in chat messages. This is possible due to sensitive information exposure in the bp-better-messages directory.

Recommendations For versions up to and including 2.6.9, update to a version higher than 2.6.9 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the /wp-content/uploads/bp-better-messages directory to minimize the risk of exploitation.
