Total Upkeep (BoldGrid Backup) < 1.17.3 - Unauthenticated Sensitive Data Disclosure and Forced Site Restore via Predictable cron_secret (regression of CVE-2020-36848)

Assigner: WPScan
Reserved: 20.07.2026 Published: 12.08.2026 Updated: 12.08.2026

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.
