CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedThe File Manager, FileOrganizer, and File Manager Pro WordPress plugins are vulnerable due to improper validation of window message origins, allowing unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary JavaScript in the session of logged-in administrators. This vulnerability poses a significant risk as it can lead to session hijacking and unauthorized actions within the WordPress admin interface. WordPress site administrators using affected versions should prioritize updating to the latest plugin releases to mitigate this risk.
Original NVD Description
The File Manager WordPress plugin before 8.0.5, FileOrganizer WordPress plugin before 1.2.1, File Manager Pro WordPress plugin before 2.1.3 do not correctly validate the origin of window messages received by the file browser they load on their admin screens, accepting any origin that is a leading string prefix of the site's own address, which allows an unauthenticated attacker to run arbitrary JavaScript in the session of a logged-in administrator who visits a page under their control. The defect is in the file-manager library all three bundle, and every version below 2.1.70 carries it. Updating the bundled library closes it.
