Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions The FileOrganizer – Manage WordPress and Website Files plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 1.0.7

Description The issue allows unauthenticated attackers to extract sensitive data, including backups or other sensitive information, if the files have been moved to the built-in Trash folder. This is possible via the fileorganizer ajax handler function.

Recommendations For versions up to, and including, 1.0.7, update to a version later than 1.0.7 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the fileorganizer ajax handler function until a patch is available. Restrict access to the built-in Trash folder to minimize the risk of exploitation.
