Summary
The WPvivid Backup, Migration & Staging WordPress plugin before 0.9.137 does not verify that a submitted snapshot identifier names a snapshot it created before using it as a database table-name prefix (CWE-284). An authenticated administrator can supply the site's table prefix or any other string, causing the plugin to drop every matching table, including core WordPress tables. The references link to a public exploit.
