- CVE-2026-14503, 17 Jul 2026
- The pCloud WP Backup plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Sensitive Information Exposure in all versions up to, and including, 2.0.3 via the wp2pcl_ajax_process_request_inner. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to extract force generation of a full-site backup archive written to a publicly accessible directory, exposing wp-config.php database credentials, WordPress secret salts, and the complete PHP source tree. The resulting archive is deposited in the plugin's unprotected tmp/ directory at a predictable URL, making the extracted data accessible to unauthenticated visitors once the backup is triggered.

What to do if you run pCloud WP Backup
If you run pCloud WP Backup, open WordPress and check the installed version in Plugins. Compare it with the affected versions in the vulnerability record. If a fixed version is available, take a current backup and update to that version or the latest supported release.
If no fixed version exists, consider disabling and removing the plugin or replacing it with a maintained alternative. After dealing with the affected software, check administrator users, unexpected file changes, redirects, unfamiliar pages and security logs for signs that the site may already have been altered.
