CVE-2025-10744
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedThe File Manager, Code Editor, and Backup by Managefy plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Sensitive Information Exposure in all versions up to, and including, 1.6.1 through publicly exposed log files. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to view information like full paths and full paths to backup files information contained in the exposed log files.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · high confidenceThe Managefy WordPress plugin (versions up to 1.6.1) stores log files in a publicly accessible location within the web root. Unauthenticated attackers can directly request these log files to retrieve sensitive information including server full paths and backup file paths.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Check if Managefy plugin is installedNavigate to WordPress admin dashboard > Plugins and look for 'Managefy', or inspect /wp-content/plugins/ directory for a folder named 'managefy' or similar. Check the plugin file headers for version number.Affected if The plugin is installed and the version is 1.6.1 or lower
-
Locate log files created by ManagefySearch the wp-content/plugins/managefy directory and adjacent directories for files with .log extension, or files named 'debug.log', 'error.log', 'managefy.log', or similar patterns. Also check wp-content/ and the plugin directory itself.Affected if Log files exist in any directory within the web root
-
Test HTTP access to identified log filesAttempt to directly request each identified log file via browser or curl (e.g., curl -I https://yourdomain.com/wp-content/plugins/managefy/debug.log). A successful 200 OK response indicates public accessibility.Affected if Log files return HTTP 200 status and are downloadable without authentication
-
Verify log file permissionsCheck file system permissions on log files. If they are world-readable (chmod 644 or higher) and located inside the web-accessible document root, they can be fetched by unauthenticated users.Affected if Log files have world-readable permissions and reside under the document root
If Managefy plugin version 1.6.1 or lower is installed and its log files are accessible via HTTP requests without authentication, the environment is affected by this vulnerability.
Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.
Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scopedMove log files outside the web root or restrict access via web server configuration (e.g., .htaccess rules) to prevent unauthenticated access. Verify all log files are inaccessible via HTTP.
Plugin version higher than 1.6.1 (check WordPress plugin repository for exact latest version)
- 1. Log in to the WordPress admin dashboard
- 2. Navigate to Plugins > Installed Plugins
- 3. Locate the 'File Manager, Code Editor, and Backup by Managefy' plugin
- 4. Check the current installed version (should be 1.6.1 or below)
- 5. If an update is available, click 'Update Now' to install the latest version
- 6. Verify the update was successful and the plugin is now running a version higher than 1.6.1
