CVE-2026-11565 PUBLISHED

Advanced File Manager < 5.4.13 - Authenticated Arbitrary File Read and Write via fma_load_fma_ui

Assigner: WPScan
Reserved: 08.06.2026 Published: 19.08.2026 Updated: 19.08.2026

The Advanced File Manager WordPress plugin before 5.4.13 does not perform capability checks in several of its file management AJAX actions, allowing users with any role to which an administrator has granted file-manager access (as low as Subscriber) to read arbitrary files on the server — including sensitive configuration files — and to overwrite existing non-PHP files, which can be leveraged to compromise administrator accounts and the whole site.
