WP-DBManager <= 2.80.7 - Authenticated (Admin+) Remote Code Execution on Multi-Site
Affected versions: *-2.80.7
Vulnerability type: CWE-94 Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection')
Affected software, patched versions and attribution
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.
