WordPress File Manager 6.8 Remote Code Execution
Posted on 10 November 2020
The WordPress File Manager (wp-file-manager) plugin versions 6.0 through 6.8 allows remote attackers to upload and execute arbitrary PHP code because it renames an unsafe example elFinder connector file to have the .php extension. This, for example, allows attackers to run the elFinder upload (or mkfile and put) command to write PHP code into the wp-content/plugins/wp-file-manager/lib/files/ directory.
