Advisory

Source description from Wordfence Intelligence, credited to Robert Lockwood.

The MainWP Child plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Sensitive Information Exposure in versions up to, and including, 4.4.1.1 due to insufficient controls on the storage of back-up files. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to extract sensitive data including the entire installations database if a backup occurs and the deletion of the back-up files fail.
