CVE-2020-24312

The File Manager WordPress plugin in version 6.4 and earlier did not properly protect its fm_backups directory from public access when directory listing was enabled on the web server. This vulnerability allowed unauthenticated attackers to browse and retrieve backup files stored by the plugin, potentially including complete database exports. The flaw stemmed from the absence of proper access restrictions such as .htaccess rules on the backup directory. The issue was fixed in version 6.5.
