CVE-2023-7165 is an information disclosure vulnerability in the JetBackup WordPress plugin before version 2.0.9.9. In certain server configurations, the plugin stores backup artifacts in web-accessible directories without using index files to prevent directory listing. When directory indexing is enabled or otherwise exposed by the web server, an unauthenticated remote attacker can browse JetBackup backup directories under the WordPress uploads area and access sensitive backup contents. Exposed artifacts may include database dumps, backup archives, logs, and WordPress configuration files, resulting in disclosure of highly sensitive site data.
