Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 31/100)

A ready-made attack module is public (Nuclei); exploiting it takes no special expertise.
Public proof-of-concept code exists (Exploit-DB / GitHub); there is no record of exploitation in the wild.
Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 1.9% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 79.6% of all records.
Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. No account or password is required. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
According to CISA the attack is automatable: targets can be found by mass scanning.
Fixed version: Unknown JetBackup 2.0.9.9.
Mentioned 1 time in Turkish national cyber security advisories (siberguvenlik.gov.tr).

Low priority for now. Upgrade to Unknown JetBackup 2.0.9.9 or later.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS

The JetBackup WordPress plugin before 2.0.9.9 doesn't use index files to prevent public directory listing of sensitive directories in certain configurations, which allows malicious actors to leak backup files.
