CVE-2022-4931 Information

Description

The BackupWordPress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to information disclosure in versions up to and including 3.12. This is due to missing authorization on the heartbeat_received() function that triggers on WordPress heartbeat. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with subscriber-level permissions and above to retrieve back-up paths that can subsequently be used to download the back-up.
