CVE-2026-75133: Keep Backup Daily WordPress Plugin < 2.1.4 Sensitive Information Exposure via kbd_cron_process

Published Aug 31, 2026
·
Updated

Keep Backup Daily plugin for WordPress before 2.1.4 contains a sensitive information exposure vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to trigger a full MySQL database dump by accessing the publicly exposed kbdcronprocess parameter without authentication. Attackers can predict the partially predictable dump filename based on the database name, a limited random range, and the current Unix timestamp to download the generated backup from the publicly accessible uploads directory.

Frequently Asked Questions

1

Which deployments are exposed to unauthenticated database-backup disclosure?

Keep Backup Daily versions before 2.1.4 are affected when the plugin's publicly exposed kbd_cron_process parameter can be accessed. No attacker account or other authentication is required.

2

What does an attacker need to retrieve a backup?

An attacker can trigger a full MySQL database dump through the exposed parameter, then predict the dump filename using the database name, a limited random range, and the current Unix timestamp. The generated backup can then be downloaded from the publicly accessible uploads directory.

3

How can I determine whether exploitation may have occurred?

Review whether full MySQL dump files were generated in the publicly accessible uploads directory and examine access logs for requests using the kbd_cron_process parameter. Also assess whether dump filenames matching the plugin's predictable naming inputs may have been requested.
