What is CVE-2024-8918?

The File Manager Pro plugin for WordPress has a vulnerability that allows unauthenticated users, with permissions granted by an administrator, to upload files with JavaScript and CSS extensions due to inadequate validation of allowed file types. This oversight may enable attackers to exploit stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities, potentially compromising the security of WordPress sites. It is essential for users to ensure that their plugin version is updated and to implement strict upload restrictions to mitigate the associated risks.
