Unauthenticated file-path disclosure via predictable debug log
Published Dec 19, 2023 · Updated Apr 28, 2026
Information exposure in Jordy Meow Media File Renamer 5.6.9 and earlier allows remote attackers to read upload events and paths. The logging component writes file-upload events and filesystem paths to a debug log whose predictable, publicly reachable name permits unauthenticated retrieval. A reachable WordPress site with the log present exposes recorded path information without authentication; no data modification or service interruption is reported.
