CVE-2026-120530 · Severity: medium · CVSS 5.7 · Published 2026-11-07

The WebToffee WP Backup and Migration plugin for WordPress contains a SQL injection vulnerability in how it handles backup and restore operations. An authenticated attacker with subscriber-level access or higher could inject malicious SQL commands via the description parameter to extract sensitive database information, but only if an administrator subsequently performs a backup export or restore operation, making this a targeted attack requiring administrator action.

## 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.
