Every check ยท Exposed files
Backup archives
What it checks
/backup.zip, /site.zip, /backup.tar.gz
Why it matters
It may hold the site's code, settings or data.
How to fix it
- Delete the archive from the web root.
- Keep backups somewhere the web server doesn't serve.
Check a site for this and everything else: snag.page.
