What is CVE-2025-3234?

The File Manager Pro – Filester plugin for WordPress contains a vulnerability that allows authenticated users with Administrator-level access to upload arbitrary files. Due to a lack of proper file type validation, this flaw can lead to unauthorized file uploads on the server. This poses a significant risk as it can potentially enable remote code execution. Moreover, the ability for administrators to grant file manager privileges to users with lower access levels, such as subscribers, exacerbates the impact of this vulnerability on affected sites.
