Summary

The WP-DBManager plugin for WordPress contains a command injection vulnerability that allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary commands. Attackers can exploit this weakness by injecting shell metacharacters into the 'Path to Backup' field or the 'mysqldumppath' variable. This can lead to unauthorized command execution on the server, potentially compromising the entire WordPress installation and its data. It is critical for users to update to version 2.7.2 or later to mitigate this risk.
