Summary

The Everest Backup – WordPress Cloud Backup, Migration, Restore & Cloning Plugin plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized access of data due to a missing capability check on the 'everest_process_status' AJAX action in all versions up to, and including, 2.3.5. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to retrieve back-up file locations that can be subsequently accessed and downloaded. This does require a back-up to be running in order for an attacker to retrieve the back-up location.

Risk Assessment

The risk includes the possibility of unauthorized access to backup file locations, which could lead to their download and data confidentiality breaches. However, the attack requires an active backup, which limits the time window.

Recommendation

It is recommended to immediately update the Everest Backup plugin to the latest available version that includes the fix. Access to the admin-ajax.php endpoint should also be restricted if possible.
