CVE-2026-11962: FileOrganizer < 1.2.0 - Authenticated Arbitrary File Upload via elFinder File Operations
- Severity: high (CVSS 8.8 v3.1)
- Exploited in the wild: not listed in CISA KEV
- EPSS: 0.7% probability of exploitation in the next 30 days

Description
The FileOrganizer WordPress plugin before 1.2.0 does not validate the file type on several of its file-management operations, allowing authenticated users who have been granted file-manager access — which its premium add-on can extend to sub-administrator roles — to upload arbitrary PHP files and achieve remote code execution. This is an incomplete fix of CVE-2024-7985, which only added file-type validation to the upload operation.
Affected products
- FileOrganizer: before 1.2.0 — fixed in 1.2.0
How to fix
Upgrade to a fixed version: FileOrganizer 1.2.0. Check the vendor advisory for mitigations.
