Advanced File Manager # CVE-2024-8126

CVE, Research URL: CVE-2024-8126
Home page URL: Security reports for Advanced File Manager
Application: Advanced File Manager
Date: Sep 26, 2024
Research Description: The Advanced File Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file uploads via the 'class_fma_connector.php' file in all versions up to, and including, 5.2.8. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, and granted permissions by an Administrator, to upload a new .htaccess file allowing them to subsequently upload arbitrary files on the affected site's server which may make remote code execution possible.
Affected versions: max 5.2.9.
Status: vulnerable

Advanced File Manager # CVE-2024-8704

CVE, Research URL: CVE-2024-8704
Home page URL: Security reports for Advanced File Manager
Application: Advanced File Manager
Date: Sep 26, 2024
Research Description: The Advanced File Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Local JavaScript File Inclusion in all versions up to, and including, 5.2.8 via the 'fma_locale' parameter. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Administrator-level access and above, to include and execute arbitrary files on the server, allowing the execution of any PHP code in those files. This can be used to bypass access controls, obtain sensitive data, or achieve code execution in cases where images and other “safe” file types can be uploaded and included.
Affected versions: max 5.2.9.
Status: vulnerable

Advanced File Manager # CVE-2024-8725

CVE, Research URL: CVE-2024-8725
Home page URL: Security reports for Advanced File Manager
Application: Advanced File Manager
Date: Sep 26, 2024
Research Description: Multiple plugins and/or themes for WordPress are vulnerable to Limited File Upload in various versions. This is due to a lack of proper checks to ensure lower-privileged roles cannot upload .css and .js files to arbitrary directories. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, and granted permissions by an administrator, to upload .css and .js files to any directory within the WordPress root directory, which could lead to Stored Cross-Site Scripting. The Advanced File Manager Shortcodes plugin must be installed to exploit this vulnerability.
Affected versions: max 5.2.9.
Status: vulnerable

Affected versions: max 5.2.11.
Status: vulnerable

Research Description: The Advanced File Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file uploads due to missing file type validation in the 'fma_local_file_system' function in versions 5.2.12 to 5.2.13. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above and upload permissions granted by an administrator, to upload arbitrary files on the affected site's server which may make remote code execution possible. The function can be exploited only if the "Display .htaccess?" setting is enabled.
Affected versions: max 5.2.14.
Status: vulnerable

Advanced File Manager # CVE-2026-15009

CVE, Research URL: CVE-2026-15009
Home page URL: Security reports for Advanced File Manager
Application: Advanced File Manager
Date: Aug 16, 2026
Research Description: The Advanced File Manager – Ultimate File Manager for WordPress And Document Library Solution plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'soundFile' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 5.4.12 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping.
