We need to supply a file with a list of commands to execute in it, we can create this via the backup comments feature. It creates a file under administrator/backups/.comments with whatever you want in it. Like ;id>/tmp/w00t;  
  
Then change the configuration to manual backup by selecting the radio button and perform a backup.

In a shell:  
$ cat /tmp/w00t  
uid=33(wwwdata)  
gid=33(wwwdata)  
groups=33(wwwdata)  
  
Also $excluded_cmd is XSS

The default template has an error with the LM_LOGIN_TEXT field so just clean that out or you’ll get a syntax error when trying to execute.  
Adding foo”);phpinfo();define(“foo to the Translation LM_FRONT_* fields then browsing to language/italian.php you’ll execute phpinfo();.
