Unauthenticated backup disclosure via browsable export directory
Published Jan 8, 2024 · Updated Jun 18, 2025
Sensitive data exposure in Codexonics Prime Mover before 1.9.3 allows remote attackers to read backup exports via directory listing. The plugin leaves a predictable directory under wp-content/uploads/prime-mover-export-files browsable when the web server generates an index. No authentication is required, but an export package must exist; exposed artifacts can contain site files, configuration data, and password hashes.
