CVE-2023-6113Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Backup disclosure via exposed job cache files

Published Jan 1, 2024 · Updated Jun 18, 2025

Sensitive information exposure in WP STAGING before 3.1.3 and WP STAGING Pro before 5.1.3 allows remote attackers to download backups. During backup creation, publicly reachable cache files, including jobCache_backup_job.cache, disclose the generated backup filename and retrieval key without access control. Exploitation is unauthenticated but requires the transient backup-creation window; exposed archives can contain site files, database data, and password hashes.
