description
BackWPup versions before 5.7.7 can expose backup archives left in the restore working directory. An unauthenticated attacker may retrieve site and database backup contents, including sensitive credentials or keys, when a restore is interrupted and the web server does not enforce .htaccess access controls.
mitigation
Upgrade BackWPup to version 5.7.7 or later. Until upgraded, prevent direct web access to restore working directories and remove residual restore archives.
fixed in 5.7.7
outcome
Check only, differential: the check fires on the vulnerable build and is silent on the patched one.
