WordPress · Database Backup/Check Tables Automated With Scheduler 2024 · CVE-2024-13910
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Database Backup and check Tables Automated With Scheduler 2024 plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 2.35
**Description**
The issue arises from insufficient file path validation in the `database backup ajax delete` function, allowing authenticated attackers with Administrator-level access and above to delete arbitrary files on the server. This can lead to remote code execution when critical files, such as `wp-config.php`, are deleted.
**Recommendations**
For versions up to, and including, 2.35, update to version 2.36 or later to partially mitigate the issue.
As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the `database backup ajax delete` function until a more comprehensive patch is available.
