Summary
The WP Remote Users Sync WordPress plugin, before a fixed release, leaves user export files in a public web directory where an unauthenticated attacker can retrieve them by requesting a predictable file name, exposing exported users' personal data. The exposure happens on web servers such as Nginx that ignore the Apache access-control file the plugin relies on.
Read the original description
The WP Remote Users Sync WordPress plugin before 2.2.0 does not adequately restrict access to the user export files it writes beneath the public web root, relying on an Apache access-control file that other web servers such as Nginx ignore, which allows an unauthenticated attacker who requests the export's predictable file name while it is present to retrieve the exported users' personal data.
What to do
Upgrade to a fixed version: 2.2.0.
