CVE-2024-7627: Bit File Manager 6.0 - 6.5.5 - Unauthenticated Remote Code Execution via Race Condition
First published: Thu Sep 05 2024(Updated: )
The Bit File Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Remote Code Execution in versions 6.0 to 6.5.5 via the 'checkSyntax' function. This is due to writing a temporary file to a publicly accessible directory before performing file validation. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to execute code on the server if an administrator has allowed Guest User read permissions.
