A high-severity cross-site request forgery in File Manager from mndpsingh287. There are no confirmed reports of exploitation so far. The chance it is exploited in the next 30 days is estimated at 10.7% (higher than 96% of all known vulnerabilities).
Official description
The File Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in all versions up to, and including, 7.2.4. This is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on the wp_file_manager page that includes files through the 'lang' parameter. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to include local JavaScript files that can be leveraged to achieve RCE via a forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link. This issue was partially patched in version 7.2.4, and fully patched in 7.2.5.
