cwe CWE-79: Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting')
published Jun 19, 2025
The File Manager Pro plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting in versions up to, and including, 1.8.8 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with administrator-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. This only impacts multi-site installations and installations where unfiltered_html has been disabled.

cwe CWE-434: Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type
published Jun 13, 2025
The File Manager Pro – Filester plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file uploads due to missing file type validation in all versions up to, and including, 1.8.8. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Administrator-level access and above, to upload arbitrary files on the affected site's server which may make remote code execution possible. Administrators have the ability to extend file manager usage privileges to lower-level users including subscribers, which would make this vulnerability more severe on such sites.
