CVE-2025-4222 Details
Description
The Database Toolset plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Sensitive Information Exposure in all versions up to, and including, 1.8.4 via backup files stored in a publicly accessible location. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to extract sensitive data from database backup files. An index file is present, so a brute force attack would need to be successful in order to compromise any data.
A vulnerability allowing sensitive information exposure has been identified in the Database Toolset plugin for WordPress, affecting all versions through 1.8.4. The issue arises from database backup files being stored in a publicly accessible directory without authentication, allowing unauthenticated attackers to download these files and access sensitive data.

No known patch is available. It is recommended to uninstall the affected plugin and find a replacement.
