DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been reported in the Backup plugin for WordPress,
which can be exploited by malicious people to disclose sensitive
information.

The vulnerability is caused due to the application allowing database
backup requests (when the "backup" GET parameter is set) without
checking credentials. This can be exploited to download the database
backup and disclose sensitive information.

The vulnerability is reported in versions prior to 2.1.

Update to version 2.1.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
Reported by the vendor.
