Until an official fix is released, users should consider disabling the backup functionality of the plugin or restricting access to backup directories via web server configuration to prevent unauthorized access. Monitoring for updates from the vendor is recommended to apply any forthcoming patches promptly.
Description
The Xagio SEO plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Sensitive Information Exposure in all versions up to, and including, 7.1.0.5 via the backup functionality due to weak filename structure and lack of protection in the directory. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to extract sensitive data from backups which can include the entire database and site's files.
