Until an official fix is released, restrict administrator access to trusted users only and monitor for suspicious activity related to the Backuply plugin. Avoid using the vulnerable plugin version in sensitive environments. Follow updates from the vendor for an official patch or temporary mitigation.
Description
The Backuply – Backup, Restore, Migrate and Clone plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via the 'options' parameter passed to the backuply_wp_clone_sql() function in all versions up to, and including, 1.3.4 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 administrator-level access and above, to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.
