What is known
The InfiniteWP Client plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Sensitive Information Exposure in all versions up to, and including, 1.12.3 via the multi-call backup option. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to extract sensitive data from a temporary SQL file via repeated GET requests during the limited time window of the backup process.
Business impact
Successful exploitation of CVE-2023-6565, a medium vulnerability (CVSS 5.9) affecting infinitewp client, may affect the confidentiality, integrity or availability of the vulnerable environment. The exact impact depends on the installed version, exposed interfaces and deployment configuration.
Recommended administrator action
Confirm whether infinitewp client is present and compare installed versions with the vendor advisory and NVD record. Apply the vendor patch or documented mitigation; until remediation is complete, reduce exposure of affected interfaces, review relevant logs and monitor for indicators of exploitation. DataHouse can support version verification, managed patching, network exposure reduction, log review and backup validation for dedicated, cloud and colocated environments.
