Descriptions

The File Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in all versions up to, and including, 7.2.4. This is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on the wp_file_manager page that includes files through the 'lang' parameter. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to include local JavaScript files that can be leveraged to achieve RCE via a forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link. This issue was partially patched in version 7.2.4, and fully patched in 7.2.5.

El complemento File Manager para WordPress es vulnerable a Cross-Site Request Forgery en todas las versiones hasta la 7.2.4 incluida. Esto se debe a una validación nonce faltante o incorrecta en la página wp_file_manager que incluye archivos a través del parámetro 'lang'. Esto hace posible que atacantes no autenticados incluyan archivos JavaScript locales que pueden aprovecharse para lograr RCE a través de una solicitud falsificada, siempre que puedan engañar a un administrador del sitio para que realice una acción como hacer clic en un enlace. Este problema se solucionó parcialmente en la versión 7.2.4 y por completo en la 7.2.5.
