Vulnerability Overview

The WP-DBManager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to remote code execution due to an incorrect capability check in the ~/database-backup.php file in versions up to, and including, 2.80.7. This makes it possible for high level authenticated users, such as administrators, to run arbitrary commands on the affected server. This only affects multi-site installations where an administrator wouldn't have the capability to run arbitrary code.

Technical Analysis

REMEDIATION: Update to version 2.80.8, or a newer patched version --- IDENTIFIER: CWE-94 (Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection')) The product constructs all or part of a code segment using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the syntax or behavior of the intended code segment.
