Official description
The EZ SQL Reports Shortcode Widget and DB Backup plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's SQLREPORT shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 5.25.11 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes.
