Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable component is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed 'remotely exploitable' and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers).
Attack Complexity: Low: Specialized access conditions or extenuating circumstances do not exist. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable component.
Privileges Required: None: The attacker is unauthorized prior to attack, and therefore does not require any access to settings or files to carry out an attack.
User Interaction: None: The vulnerable system can be exploited without any interaction from any user.
Scope: Unchanged: An exploited vulnerability can only affect resources managed by the same security authority. In this case, the vulnerable component and the impacted component are either the same, or both are managed by the same security authority.
Confidentiality: Low: There is some loss of confidentiality. Access to some restricted information is obtained, but the attacker does not have control over what information is obtained, or the amount or kind of loss is limited. The information disclosure does not cause a direct, serious loss to the impacted component.
Integrity: None: There is no loss of integrity within the impacted component.
Availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the impacted component.

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 26 Oct 2026.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponised: Public exploit code exists in Metasploit or Exploit-DB, or CISA SSVC or the CVSS exploit maturity reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

What to do

Upgrade Magic Export & Import (WordPress plugin) to 1.2.0.

Affected software

Product	Affected	Fixed in
Magic Export & Import	Affected <1.2.0	Fixed in 1.2.0

AI-suggested

Users should upgrade to version 1.2.0 or later once available, as the vulnerability affects versions before 1.2.0. Until then, restricting access to exported CSV files by configuring proper file permissions or web server access controls is recommended to prevent unauthorized access.

Description

The Magic Export & Import WordPress plugin versions before 1.2.0 store exported CSV files in a publicly accessible location. This misconfiguration allows any visitor to access these files, potentially leaking sensitive user information. The vulnerability has a medium severity rating with a CVSS score of 5.3.

Impact

The vulnerability allows unauthorized users to access exported CSV files containing potentially sensitive user information due to improper file storage permissions. This leads to information disclosure but does not affect integrity or availability. No known exploits in the wild have been reported.

Summary

CVE-2026-5335 describes a vulnerability in the Magic Export & Import WordPress plugin prior to version 1.2.0 where exported CSV files containing user data are stored in locations accessible to the public. This exposure can lead to unauthorized disclosure of sensitive information. The vulnerability is classified under CWE-552 (Files or Directories Accessible to External Parties). The CVSS v3.1 base score is 5.3, reflecting a network attack vector with low complexity and no privileges or user interaction required, resulting in limited confidentiality impact.
