AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability allows an unauthenticated user to retrieve sensitive data from the Norvis Backup plugin, potentially exposing stored backup files or credentials. It is a classic data‑exposure weakness as described by CWE‑201, where information is disclosed without proper authorization controls.

Affected Systems

The affected product is the Norvis Backup WordPress plugin for all users installing versions 1.1.0 or earlier. No vendor‑supplied patch is available for those older releases, leaving the expansion of credentials and backup material at risk.

Risk and Exploitability

With a CVSS score of 7.5, the flaw is considered high severity. The EPSS score of < 1% indicates a very low exploitation probability; the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The likely attack vector is remote and unauthenticated, such that any visitor to the site can trigger the offending behavior. The risk is elevated for sites that keep backups or credentials exposed without restrictive access controls.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade the Norvis Backup plugin to a version newer than 1.1.0 that contains the fix.
  • If an immediate update is not possible, deactivate or uninstall the Norvis Backup plugin to eliminate the exposure surface.
  • Implement a web‑application‑firewall rule to block or restrict access to the backup download endpoint or any URLs that expose backup files.
  • Review existing backup content and remove any stored credentials or sensitive data before re‑enabling the plugin or installing the patch.
