Until a fix is available, users should restrict access to the export functionality and the directories where exported JSON files are stored, for example by using web server access controls or disabling the export feature if possible. Monitor official vendor channels for updates or patches addressing this vulnerability.
Description
The Moving Users plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Sensitive Information Exposure in all versions up to, and including, 1.05 via the export functionality. The JSON files are stored in predictable locations with guessable file names when exporting user data. This could allow unauthenticated attackers to extract sensitive user data, for instance, email addresses, hashed passwords, and IP addresses.
