Descriptions

The File Manager Pro WordPress plugin before 1.8.1 allows admin users to upload arbitrary files, even in environments where such a user should not be able to gain full control of the server, such as a multisite installation. This leads to remote code execution.

El complemento File Manager Pro de WordPress anterior a 1.8.1 permite a los usuarios administradores cargar archivos arbitrarios, incluso en entornos donde dicho usuario no debería poder obtener el control total del servidor, como una instalación multisitio. Esto conduce a la ejecución remota de código.

The File Manager Pro – Filester plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file uploads due to insufficient permission controls on file uploads in all versions up to, and including, 1.8. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with administrative-level access and above, to upload arbitrary files on the affected site's server which may make remote code execution possible. This may only be an issue on multi-site installations where users shouldn't have access to upload files.
