CVE-2026-8380
Description
The Frontend File Manager Plugin WordPress plugin through 23.6 does not properly verify ownership of every targeted post before permanent deletion, allowing authenticated users with author-level access and above to permanently delete arbitrary posts and pages. When the Frontend File Manager Plugin WordPress plugin through 23.6's "Allow guest uploads" setting is enabled by an administrator, the same deletion primitive becomes reachable by unauthenticated users.
Summary dbcve.org
The Frontend File Manager Plugin WordPress plugin through version 23.6 lacks proper ownership verification before permanent post/page deletion, allowing any authenticated user with author-level or higher privileges to delete arbitrary content via an Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) vulnerability. When the 'Allow guest uploads' setting is enabled, the same deletion primitive becomes exploitable by unauthenticated attackers.
Mitigation
Update the plugin to a version that properly validates post ownership before deletion. Until a patch is available, disable the 'Allow guest uploads' setting and restrict user permissions to editor-level minimum.
