Description

There exists a command injection vulnerability in the Wordpress plugin
`wp-database-backup` for versions

For the backup functionality, the plugin generates a `mysqldump` command
to execute. The user can choose specific tables to exclude from the backup
by setting the `wp_db_exclude_table` parameter in a POST request to the
`wp-database-backup` page. The names of the excluded tables are included in
the `mysqldump` command unsanitized. Arbitrary commands injected through the
`wp_db_exclude_table` parameter are executed each time the functionality
for creating a new database backup are run.

Authentication is required to successfully exploit this vulnerability.
