Frontend File Manager Plugin # CVE-2026-5337

CVE, Research URL

CVE-2026-5337

Date
May 03, 2026
Research Description
During the analysis, it was identified that authenticated attackers with Subscriber-level access or higher are able to perform an Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) attack. This vulnerability exists because the Frontend File Manager Plugin WordPress plugin through 23.6 does not properly validate user authorization for the requested uploaded file when processing download requests. By modifying the value of the 'file_id' parameter in the download endpoint (e.g., http://localhost/?do=wpfm_download&file_id=40&nm_file_nonce=a36fb893f1), an attacker can access files belonging to other users, including privileged users such as administrators. This allows unauthorized access/read to sensitive data stored within the application.
Affected versions
max 23.6.

Date
Jun 23, 2026
Research Description
The Frontend File Manager Plugin WordPress plugin through 23.6 does not sanitise nor escape a filename submitted to the frontend file-rename endpoint before storing it as post meta and rendering it back on the admin File Manager listing, leading to a Stored Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability exploitable by users with Subscriber-level access and above against an administrator viewing the file management interface.

CVE-2026-8380

Date
Jun 26, 2026
Research Description
The Frontend File Manager Plugin WordPress plugin through 23.6 does not properly verify ownership of every targeted post before permanent deletion, allowing authenticated users with author-level access and above to permanently delete arbitrary posts and pages. When the Frontend File Manager Plugin WordPress plugin through 23.6's "Allow guest uploads" setting is enabled by an administrator, the same deletion primitive becomes reachable by unauthenticated users.
Affected versions

Frontend File Manager Plugin # CVE-2026-8095

CVE, Research URL

CVE-2026-8095

Date
Jun 28, 2026
Research Description
The Frontend File Manager Plugin plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Authenticated Arbitrary File Deletion in versions up to and including 23.6. This is due to a case-sensitive bypass of the wpfm_dir_path parameter sanitization in the wpfm_file_meta_update AJAX handler, where supplying WPFM_DIR_PATH in uppercase evades the unset check and is normalized to wpfm_dir_path by sanitize_key() during update_post_meta(), allowing an attacker to overwrite the stored file path with an arbitrary filesystem path that is then passed directly to unlink() in delete_file_locally() without any directory containment validation. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with Subscriber-level access to delete arbitrary files on the server, including sensitive files such as wp-config.php, potentially leading to full site takeover.
Affected versions
max 23.6.
Status

CVE, Research URL

CVE-2026-12277

Date
Jul 07, 2026
Research Description
The Frontend File Manager Plugin WordPress plugin through 23.6 does not validate a file path derived from user input before deleting the referenced file, allowing unauthenticated users to delete arbitrary files on the server (such as wp-config.php) when guest upload mode is enabled. Deleting wp-config.php forces the site into its setup routine, which can be leveraged toward a full site takeover.
Affected versions
max 23.6.

Frontend File Manager Plugin # CVE-2026-16292

CVE, Research URL

CVE-2026-16292

Date
Aug 02, 2026
Research Description
The Frontend File Manager Plugin WordPress plugin through 23.6 does not perform nonce validation on one of its file-metadata update actions, allowing an attacker to modify the metadata of a logged-in user's uploaded file via a CSRF attack, which can be leveraged to download that file. When guest uploads are enabled, the same action is reachable unauthenticated against any user's file.
Affected versions
max 23.6.
Status
vulnerable
