Description

The File Manager (wp-file-manager) plugin from 6.0 to 6.8 for WordPress allows remote attackers to upload and
execute arbitrary PHP code because it renames an unsafe example elFinder connector file to have the .php
extension. This, for example, allows attackers to run the elFinder upload (or mkfile and put) command to write
PHP code into the wp-content/plugins/wp-file-manager/lib/files/ directory.
