CVE-2022-1577 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 5.4/10 on the CVSS scale. The Database Backup for WordPress plugin before 2.5.2 does not have CSRF check in place when updating the schedule backup settings, which could allow an attacker to make a logged in admin change them via a CSRF attack.
