WordPress File Manager Plugin Remote Code Execution Vulnerability
WordPress - File Manager Plugin · Listed in the CISA KEV since 2021-11-03. This indicates confirmed attacks in production environments.
Required action: Apply updates per vendor instructions.
CVE-2020-25213
CriticalCVSS 10.0KEVSummary
The File Manager (wp-file-manager) plugin before 6.9 for WordPress allows remote attackers to upload and execute arbitrary PHP code because it renames an unsafe example elFinder connector file to have the .php extension. It was exploited in the wild in August and September 2020.
Risk Assessment
The vulnerability enables remote code execution on the WordPress server, which may lead to full site takeover, backdoor installation and data theft.
Recommendation
Immediately update the wp-file-manager plugin to version 6.9 or later. Check the site for signs of compromise (unknown PHP files in the plugin directory) and remove any backdoors.

In node-opcua (an OPC UA implementation for TypeScript and Node.js), versions 2.42.0 through 2.180.0 do not honor namespace-level access control configured via setDefaultRolePermissions for nodes without explicit per-node permissions. SessionContext.getApplicableRolePermissions reads a missing or null value instead of the configured namespace field, and the null result is treated permissively. As a result, an anonymous network client can write variables or call bound methods when an operator relied on restrictive namespace defaults.

Dell Wyse Management Suite versions prior to 2609.0.0.155 contain a cross-site scripting vulnerability (improper neutralization of input during web page generation). A low-privileged attacker with remote access could exploit it to inject script.
- CVE-2026-115732Critical
Incorrect authorization in certificate-name matching in trapperkeeper-authorization, as used by Puppet Server, allows a client holding a CA-signed certificate whose name extends or shortens an authorized hostname to be authorized as that host. This enables impersonation of other nodes and, in Puppet Enterprise, access to certificate-authority administration and remote command execution on managed nodes.
- CVE-2026-115731Critical
Deserialization of untrusted data in Puppet's report-processing code, as used by Puppet Server, allows a client holding any CA-signed agent certificate to execute arbitrary code on the Puppet Server as its service user by submitting a report with a crafted rich-data type via a PUT request. Where the CA autosigns requests without strong verification, an unauthenticated network attacker can obtain such a certificate.

An authentication bypass vulnerability exists in the underlying operating system of HPE Networking Fabric Composer. Successful exploitation could allow an unauthenticated adjacent attacker to execute arbitrary code on the affected system.
- CVE-2026-95731Critical
Hardcoded password vulnerabilities in the command-line interface of HPE Networking Fabric Composer could allow an unauthenticated remote attacker to access the affected system using hardcoded credentials. Successful exploitation could grant unauthorized administrative access with elevated privileges.
- CVE-2026-63471Critical
Prior to 0.8.1, fastapi-code-generator inserts an OpenAPI path into a generated @app.get(...) route decorator as a single-quoted string without escaping embedded quotes. An attacker-influenced OpenAPI path can close the string and inject a valid Python expression into the decorator argument. Syntactically valid generated code executes with the application's or CI process's privileges when the module is imported.
- CVE-2026-63470Critical
Prior to 0.8.1, fastapi-code-generator inserts Operation.summary into a generated route-handler docstring as a triple-double-quoted string without escaping embedded triple quotes. An attacker-influenced operation summary can close the docstring and inject a valid Python expression statement into the handler body. Syntactically valid generated code executes with the server process's privileges when the affected route handler is called.
- CVE-2026-63469Critical
Prior to 0.8.1, fastapi-code-generator inserts an additional response status-code key into the generated responses={...} route-decorator dictionary as a single-quoted Python string without escaping embedded quotes. An attacker-influenced second non-primary response key can close the dictionary-key literal and inject a valid Python expression. Syntactically valid generated code executes with the application's or CI process's privileges when the module is imported.
Original NVD description (English source)
The File Manager (wp-file-manager) plugin before 6.9 for WordPress allows remote attackers to upload and execute arbitrary PHP code because it renames an unsafe example elFinder connector file to have the .php extension. This, for example, allows attackers to run the elFinder upload (or mkfile and put) command to write PHP code into the wp-content/plugins/wp-file-manager/lib/files/ directory. This was exploited in the wild in August and September 2020.
