Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions File Manager Pro – Filester plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 1.8.2

Description The issue allows authenticated attackers with granted permissions by an Administrator to update plugin settings for user role restrictions. This is due to a missing capability check on the njt fs saveSettingRestrictions function, making it possible to allow file types such as .php to be uploaded.

Recommendations For versions up to, and including, 1.8.2, update to a version that includes a fix for the missing capability check on the njt fs saveSettingRestrictions function. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the njt fs saveSettingRestrictions function to prevent unauthorized modification of data. Additionally, restrict the upload of file types such as .php to minimize the risk of exploitation.
