Another WordPress plugin has received major security updates after being riddled with numerous flaws. This time, it is the WordPress Frontend File Manager plugin that was found to contain critical severity vulnerabilities.
Researchers from NinTechNet discovered six critical security vulnerabilities in the Frontend File Manager plugin for WordPress. This plugin facilitates users in uploading files for the site admin.
Specifically, the vulnerabilities they discovered could lead to various consequences upon exploitation. Here’s a quick overview of the bugs.
More details about the vulnerabilities are available in the researchers’ post .
The researchers initially discovered the vulnerabilities in the plugin version 17.2, which they then reported to the developers on May 20, 2021. Consequently, the developers released a plugin update. However, it lacked fixes for all the bugs.
Thus, the bugs continued to affect plugin versions until 18.2. Eventually, the final release of the plugin version 18.3 addressed all the fixes.
The current version of the Frontend File Manager Plugin is 19.3 , though, which addresses some more issues. So, all plugin users must ensure updating their sites with the latest version or any release later than 18.3.
