About Plugin:
=============
Backup is a plugin that provides backup capabilities for WordPress. Backups are zip archives created locally and uploaded to a folder of your choosing on Google Drive.


Weakness:
=========
The default configuration exposes a logfile with filenames of the actual backups. The backup files are available for download once the name is extracted from this logfile. 

Depending on the settings this gives access to a copy of the WordPress database, wp-content, uploads, plugins or complete site.


Fix:
====
Local folder path setting should be set to a value that can not be guessed by default. Until a fix is available it is up to the user of the plugin to configure it accordingly.


Detection and Google Dork:
==========================
Blog is vulnerable if http://www.example.com/wp-content/backup/backup.log exists.
Usually the logfile is not indexed. Still possibe to match in rare occasions:
http://www.google.com/search?q=inurl:wp-content/backup.log*
or trace back vulnerable blogs from logfiles being posted
http://www.google.com/search?q="Attempting+to+create+archive"+"wp-content/backup/"


Relevance:
==========
Plugin is downloaded 15.000 times, with a download rate of currently 400 downloads a day.
