Home page URL: Security reports for Frontend File Manager Plugin
Application: Frontend File Manager Plugin
Published on: Jan 28, 2026
Research Description: The Frontend File Manager Plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized file sharing due to a missing capability check on the 'wpfm_send_file_in_email' AJAX action in all versions up to, and including, 23.5. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to share arbitrary uploaded files via email by supplying a file ID. Since file IDs are sequential integers, attackers can enumerate all uploaded files on the site and exfiltrate sensitive data that was intended to be restricted to administrators only.
Affected versions: max 23.5.
Status: vulnerable
