DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been discovered in the Front File Manager plugin
for WordPress, which can be exploited by malicious people to
compromise a vulnerable system.

The vulnerability is caused due to the
wp-content/plugins/front-file-manager/upload.php script allowing the
upload of files with arbitrary extensions to a folder inside the
webroot. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary PHP code by
uploading a malicious PHP script.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 0.1. Other versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Restrict access to the
wp-content/plugins/front-file-manager/upload.php script (e.g. via
.htaccess).

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
