If you don't have good backups to fall back to, you could try
backing up your database and site, then re-install the same
version of the site and any plugins on a clean web root and
database. Then restore the database over the top of that and
copy any uploads over as well, making sure that they're safe
first. Check the users table for any new admin accounts and
delete them and reset the administrator password to a strong
password. Then once you're sure it's okay, upgrade to the latest
version.
