Description

This module exploits an unauthenticated database backup vulnerability in WordPress plugin
'Boldgrid-Backup' also known as 'Total Upkeep' version
First, `env-info.php` is read to get server information. Next, `restore-info.json` is
read to retrieve the last backup file. That backup is then downloaded, and any sql
files will be parsed looking for the wp_users INSERT statement to grab user creds.
