Description

The Wordpress plugin BulletProof Security, versions <= 5.1, suffers from an information disclosure vulnerability, in that the db_backup_log.txt is publicly accessible. If the backup functionality is being utilized, this file will disclose where the backup files can be downloaded. After downloading the backup file, it will be parsed to grab all user credentials.

Time is precious, so I don’t want to do something manually that I can automate. Leveraging the Metasploit Framework when automating any task keeps us from having to re-create the wheel as we can use the existing libraries and focus our efforts where it matters.
