high 7.5 CVE-2026-16253 · published 2026-08-12

Information disclosure in Total Upkeep (older than 1.17.3)

Affected: older than 1.17.3
Fixed in: 1.17.3
Access needed (per CVSS): No login needed
Range from: CVE record (the advisory publisher) · score by CISA ADP

Details from the advisory

The Total Upkeep WordPress plugin before 1.17.3 does not adequately protect the secret that authorizes its backup-restore functionality and exposes it to unauthenticated users, allowing them to disclose sensitive backup information and to force a full site restore that overwrites the live site's files and database. This is an incomplete fix of CVE-2020-36848, as the protection added at the time never took effect on distributed copies of the plugin.
