CVE-2026-12119 Details
Description
The Simple File List plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized file operations due to a missing authorization check on the 'frontmanage' shortcode attribute in all versions up to, and including, 6.3.7. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to perform arbitrary file operations including deletion, move, folder creation, and download. An attacker can create a draft post containing the 'eeSFL' shortcode, render it via the post preview endpoint to harvest the nonce needed to authorize the operations, and then submit file operation requests that bypass the intended authorization checks in includes/ee-list-ops-bar-process.php.
A vulnerability in the Simple File List WordPress plugin, present in versions through 6.3.7, allows authenticated users with contributor-level access and above to perform unauthorized file operations. This includes deleting, moving, and creating folders, as well as downloading files. The issue arises from a missing authorization check on the 'frontmanage' shortcode attribute. Exploitation involves creating a draft post with the 'eeSFL' shortcode, previewing it to obtain the necessary nonce, and then sending file operation requests that bypass the intended authorization checks.
Users are advised to update the Simple File List plugin to version 6.3.8 or later.
