Description

The Bit File Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Remote Code Execution in versions 6.0 to 6.5.5 via the 'checkSyntax' function. This is due to writing a temporary file to a publicly accessible directory before performing file validation. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to execute code on the server if an administrator has allowed Guest User read permissions.

Affected products

• bitpressadmin File Manager: from 6.0 before 6.5.6 — fixed in 6.5.6

How to fix

Upgrade to a fixed version: bitpressadmin File Manager 6.5.6. Check the vendor advisory for mitigations.
