Mitigation et Contournementstraduction en cours…
The primary mitigation for CVE-2026-4030 is to immediately upgrade the Database Backup for WordPress plugin to version 2.5.3 or later. If upgrading is not immediately feasible due to compatibility issues or breaking changes, consider implementing a temporary workaround by restricting access to the plugin's backup directory. This can be achieved through file system permissions or web server configuration. While not a complete solution, this can limit the attacker's ability to read or delete files. Monitor WordPress logs for any unusual file access attempts, particularly those originating from unauthenticated users. After upgrading, verify the fix by attempting to access a non-public file through the plugin's interface; access should be denied.
