What the vulnerability does
The WebP Express plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to information exposure via config files in all versions up to, and including, 0.25.9. This is due to the plugin not properly randomizing the name of the config file to prevent direct access on NGINX. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to extract configuration data.
Explanation of Vulnerability in Simple Terms
WebP Express versions 0.25.9 and earlier expose sensitive information that can be accessed over the network without authentication. An attacker can retrieve this data directly without user interaction. The vulnerability affects the plugin's information handling and may expose configuration details or other non-public data stored by the plugin.
What an attacker can do
Read sensitive information exposed by the plugin without needing to log in.
Potential impact on your site
Sensitive plugin data or configuration details may be publicly readable to anyone on the internet.
Conditions required to exploit
Network access to the site; no authentication or user interaction required.
