CVE-2023-5576Network attack vector

Google Drive account impersonation via embedded client secret

Published Oct 20, 2023 · Updated Apr 8, 2026

Sensitive information exposure in WPvivid Backup, Migration & Staging 0.9.91 and earlier allows remote attackers to obtain Google Drive API credentials. The includes/customclass/client_secrets.json file packages a client identifier and client secret as plaintext in the publicly served plugin tree. Exploitation requires a site user to reauthenticate through a separate vulnerability or social engineering, after which the credentials enable impersonation of the WPvivid Google Drive account.
