CVE-2026-111962 Details
Description
The WP Remote Users Sync WordPress plugin before 2.2.0 does not adequately restrict access to the user export files it writes beneath the public web root, relying on an Apache access-control file that other web servers such as Nginx ignore, which allows an unauthenticated attacker who requests the export's predictable file name while it is present to retrieve the exported users' personal data.
A vulnerability in the WP Remote Users Sync WordPress plugin, affecting versions prior to 2.2.0, allows for unauthenticated access to user export files. These files, containing personal data, are written beneath the public web root. The plugin relies on an Apache access-control file for protection, which is ignored by other web servers like Nginx. This misconfiguration enables an attacker to retrieve the exported data by requesting the export's predictable file name while the file is available.
Users are advised to update the WP Remote Users Sync WordPress plugin to version 2.2.0 or later.
