Descriptions

The Advanced File Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Sensitive Information Exposure in all versions up to, and including, 5.2.4 via the 'fma_local_file_system' function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to extract sensitive data including backups or other sensitive information if the files have been moved to the built-in Trash folder.
