Security: fixed a missing authorization check on the plugin’s AJAX handler. Backup and account actions now require administrator capability and a valid nonce, closing a flaw where a logged-in lower-privileged user could trigger a backup or disconnect the pCloud account (CVE-2026-14503).
Security: the temporary directories that briefly hold backup/restore archives are now hardened against direct web access (index.php, .htaccess, and web.config guard files), so archives cannot be listed or downloaded over HTTP.
2.0.3
Maintenance release; no functional changes.
2.0.2
Security: removed an unsafe TLS verification bypass on upload; the plugin no longer exposes the OAuth access token to page JavaScript or to the debug error log.
Reliability: fixed a chunk byte-accounting bug that could leave uploads or downloads short or duplicated when a network hiccup split a chunk.
Reliability: the database restore now streams the SQL file and parses statements with quote-aware splitting, which fixes restoring content containing semicolon+newline sequences and stops the large-site OOM during restore.
Performance: archive extraction on restore is now a single-pass operation. Large archives restore dramatically faster.
Performance: operational options (logs, operation state, async queue, notifications) are no longer autoloaded on every WordPress request.
Fix: deactivating the plugin no longer wipes your OAuth token and schedule. Only full uninstall removes configuration.
Fix: the “Next scheduled backup” display now shows the correct time.
Fix: a transient lock prevents concurrent admin-page polls from racing and doubling up chunk uploads.
Fix: failed chunk uploads and downloads now surface clear errors instead of hanging forever.
Fix: database dump no longer falls back to writing backup.sql into the web-accessible WordPress root on hosts without a usable tmp dir; it now fails closed.
Fix: transients are always cleared after a database restore, not only when user sessions were preserved.
Added: unobtrusive rating prompt after two successful backups — a centered modal on the plugin page with two-touch flow (dismissible, only asked once).
Fix: automatic backups now show progress in the admin UI — previously the progress bar was deliberately hidden for scheduled backups, making them appear frozen.
Fix: when the admin page is open during an automatic backup, chunks upload at the same speed as manual backups instead of only advancing once per 2-minute cron tick.
Fix: in-progress automatic backups are no longer silently aborted when the cron’s schedule gate rejects (e.g. hour window closing mid-upload).
Fix: added a version-gated upgrade routine so cron events and new options are correctly registered on plugin update (WordPress does not fire the activation hook on updates).
Fix: the plugin now self-heals if its scheduled cron event has been cleared between version bumps (deactivate/reactivate of another plugin, cron-management tools, etc.) — the next admin pageview re-registers it instead of silently never running again.
