Wordpress BulletProof Security Backup Disclosure
Description
The Wordpress plugin BulletProof Security, versions <= 5.1, suffers from an information disclosure vulnerability, in that the db_backup_log.txt is publicly accessible. If the backup functionality is being utilized, this file will disclose where the backup files can be downloaded. After downloading the backup file, it will be parsed to grab all user credentials.

- Collect and share all the information you need to conduct a successful and efficient penetration test
- Simulate complex attacks against your systems and users
- Test your defenses to make sure they’re ready
- Automate Every Step of Your Penetration Test
Time is precious, so I don’t want to do something manually that I can automate. Leveraging the Metasploit Framework when automating any task keeps us from having to re-create the wheel as we can use the existing libraries and focus our efforts where it matters.
