Unauthenticated backup disclosure via predictable filenames
Published Feb 5, 2024 · Updated Apr 8, 2026
Sensitive information exposure in mndpsingh287 File Manager 7.2.1 and earlier allows remote attackers to download site backups via guessed names. The backup routine constructs filenames from a timestamp and only four random digits, leaving too little entropy to prevent enumeration. Exploitation is unauthenticated but depends on a deployment where the backup directory’s .htaccess rules do not block direct web access.
