CVE-2026-120530 Details
Description
The WebToffee WP Backup and Migration plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to generic SQL Injection via the 'description' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 1.6.1 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database. Successful exploitation requires an administrator to subsequently perform the plugin's ordinary local database export and restore operation on the same site, which is this plugin's primary intended function. Successful exploitation additionally requires an action by an administrator — the attacker cannot trigger the vulnerability on their own.
A SQL injection vulnerability has been identified in the WebToffee WP Backup and Migration plugin for WordPress, affecting all versions through 1.6.1. The vulnerability arises from inadequate escaping of user-supplied data in the 'description' parameter, allowing authenticated attackers with subscriber-level access or higher to inject additional SQL queries. Exploitation could lead to unauthorized access to sensitive database information. However, successful exploitation requires an administrator to perform the plugin's standard database export and restore functions, as the attacker cannot initiate the exploit independently.
Users are advised to update the WebToffee WP Backup and Migration plugin to version 1.6.2 or a newer patched version.
