Technical details
The plugin fails to properly escape and prepare the 'description' parameter in SQL queries used during backup and restore operations. An authenticated attacker with subscriber-level or higher privileges can inject arbitrary SQL commands. Exploitation requires an administrator to perform a normal local database export or restore, which triggers the injected SQL and allows data exfiltration from the database.
