Summary
The File Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file deletion due to insufficient file path validation in the connector function. Authenticated attackers with subscriber-level access can read and delete arbitrary files on the server, potentially leading to remote code execution when critical files like wp-config.php are deleted.
Risk Assessment
An attacker can take over the server by deleting critical configuration files, leading to full compromise of the website and potentially the entire server.
Recommendation
Update the File Manager plugin to the latest patched version. Restrict access to the plugin to trusted users and monitor logs for unusual POST requests with cmd=rm or cmf=file parameters.

The Custom User Registration Fields for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Privilege Escalation in versions up to and including 2.2.3. This is due to the plugin accepting an attacker-controlled afreg_select_user_role value from the unauthenticated WooCommerce Store API /wc/store/v1/checkout request, persisting it in order meta, and then passing it directly to WP_User::add_role() without validating against the plugin's admin-configured allowed role list. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to elevate their privileges to Administrator by creating an account during checkout with a modified JSON body specifying administrator as the desired role.

Cloud Commander before version 19.20.2 contains a directory traversal vulnerability in REST file-operation and markdown endpoints that fails to properly validate path normalization. Attackers can use path traversal sequences to read, write, move, or copy files outside the configured root directory.
- CVE-2026-82456Critical
argocd-mcp 0.8.0 binds its HTTP transport to every network interface and accepts MCP sessions without requiring caller credentials when ARGOCD_API_TOKEN is configured. Attackers who can reach the listener can invoke the full tool surface using the operator's stored token to create applications, request syncs, and modify Argo CD resources.
- CVE-2026-82454Critical
The Omnivore API (packages/api) before the fix in commit abf53d6 contains an authentication bypass in Apple sign-in token verification. The decodeAppleToken function extracted the 'alg' field from the attacker-supplied JWT header and passed it as the sole allowed algorithm to jwt.verify(). Using jsonwebtoken v8 (which does not validate key/algorithm compatibility), an attacker can set alg=HS256 and sign a forged token using Apple's publicly available RSA public key as the HMAC secret, bypassing signature verification and impersonating any Apple-linked account.
- CVE-2026-82452Critical
rust-iot-platform through commit 5df942ab contains an authentication bypass vulnerability where most REST API routes lack authentication guards in their handler signatures. Unauthenticated attackers can create, update, list, retrieve, and delete user accounts by directly accessing unprotected endpoints without providing valid credentials.
- CVE-2026-82448Critical
Shinobi before commit 5a76c74f contains a hardcoded connection key in the child node service that allows unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary database queries. Attackers reaching the child node port can present the hardcoded key during WebSocket handshake, then dispatch SQL queries through the onWebSocketDataFromChildNode handler to read and modify user records and camera configuration.
- CVE-2026-14494Critical
The Sigma Forms Pro plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Remote Code Execution in all versions up to, and including, 1.4.5 via the handle_form_submission function. This is due to the plugin dynamically granting the unfiltered_upload capability to all users during form submissions and bypassing MIME type validation when allowed_file_types is not configured. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to execute code on the server. Several default pre-built templates including Job Application, Support Ticket, and Wholesale Application have file upload fields with no file type restrictions configured by design, making this vulnerability immediately exploitable upon installation.
- CVE-2026-77012Critical
The 爱采集数据采集和发布插件 WordPress plugin through 1.0.0 does not require a per-install secret for one of its unauthenticated endpoints, relying on a hardcoded default, and does not validate the URLs or destination paths it is given. This allows unauthenticated attackers to read arbitrary files from the server, force it to issue arbitrary requests and retrieve the responses, and write attacker-supplied content outside the uploads directory.
- CVE-2026-16947Critical
The Total processing card payments for WooCommerce WordPress plugin through version 7.3 does not validate a user-supplied path before using it to build a server-side verification request, and does not verify the authenticity of the response. This allows unauthenticated attackers to redirect that request to an arbitrary host (disclosing the merchant's payment-gateway credentials) and to forge a success response that marks arbitrary WooCommerce orders as paid.
- CVE-2026-16259Critical
The Uix UserCenter WordPress plugin through version 1.0.3 does not verify that the account being modified through an unauthenticated profile-update action belongs to the requester, and it authenticates that action with a token whose signing key is hardcoded and identical across every install. This allows unauthenticated attackers to forge a token for any user, overwrite an administrator's email and password, and take over the account.
Original NVD description (English source)
The File Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file deletion due to insufficient file path validation in the connector function in all versions from 6.0 - 6.9. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to read and delete arbitrary files on the server, which can lead to remote code execution when the right file is deleted (such as wp-config.php). The bypass is triggered by passing cmd=rm or cmf=file in the URL query string of a POST request: elFinder's bind registration reads the command exclusively from $_POST and therefore never registers the rm.pre permission handler, while the dispatcher reads from the merged $_GET+$_POST superglobal and executes the rm or file command unchecked against a volume that defaults to ABSPATH.
