importbuddy.php in the BackupBuddy plugin 1.3.4, 2.1.4, 2.2.25, 2.2.28, and 2.2.4 for WordPress does not reliably delete itself after completing a restore operation, which makes it easier for remote attackers to obtain access via subsequent requests to this script.

Security readout for executives and security teams

BackupBuddy could leave its restore script, importbuddy.php, publicly reachable after a WordPress restore. If that happened, an outsider might revisit the leftover script and gain access related to the restored site. The public record does not provide CVSS scoring, a fixed version, or confirmed active exploitation. Exposure is most likely on WordPress sites that used the named BackupBuddy versions for restore or migration and left importbuddy.php web-accessible. Current exposure requires confirming both plugin history and file presence. Treat as a focused legacy WordPress cleanup issue. Prioritize internet-facing sites and recent restorations because the business risk comes from a forgotten administrative restore file, not from a confirmed current mass-exploitation campaign. Mitigation focus: Remove any publicly reachable importbuddy.php after restore operations.; Check vendor guidance for supported BackupBuddy versions and remediation advice.; Upgrade or replace unsupported BackupBuddy installations where possible..
