Unauthenticated log disclosure via predictable filename
Published Nov 30, 2023 · Updated Apr 28, 2026
Sensitive information exposure in Bowo Debug Log Manager 2.3.0 and earlier allows remote attackers to read WordPress debug logs. The plugin assigns the custom debug log an insufficiently random filename, allowing its public URL to be determined and requested directly. Exposure requires error logging to be enabled and the log URL to be reachable; disclosed entries can include PHP, database, and JavaScript errors.
