CVE-2021-4350Frontend File Manager <= 18.2 - Unauthenticated HTML Injection leading to Spam Emails
High 7.2
In plain English
A high-severity missing authorization in Frontend File Manager Plugin from nmedia. There are no confirmed reports of exploitation so far. The chance it is exploited in the next 30 days is estimated at 0.7% (higher than 52% of all known vulnerabilities).
Official description
The Frontend File Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Unauthenticated HTML Injection in versions up to, and including, 18.2. This is due to lacking authentication protections on the wpfm_send_file_in_email AJAX action. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to send emails using the site with a custom subject, recipient email, and body with unsanitized HTML content. This effectively lets the attacker use the site as a spam relay.
