Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2026-17540 exists.\n\nAffected product: Unknown File Manager. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-17540/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-17540/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-17540","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-17540/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-17540","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-mr78-php7-96p9"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read","denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Authenticated subscribers can read and delete arbitrary files in the WordPress installation, leading to information disclosure and denial of service.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"WPScan","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":8.8,"severity":"high","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-284","name":"Improper Access Control"}],"description":"The File Manager WordPress plugin before 6.9.1 does not properly authorise its file management commands, allowing any authenticated user, such as a subscriber, to read and delete arbitrary files under the WordPress installation directory, which could lead to the disclosure of the site's configuration secrets and to denial of service.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":1,"refs":[{"date":null,"kind":"nuclei","ref":"http/cves/2026/CVE-2026-17540.yaml","stars":null,"title":"WordPress Bit File Manager \u003c 6.9.1 - Arbitrary File Read"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Bit File Manager \u003c 6.9.1 - Subscriber+ Arbitrary File Read and Deletion via Connector Command Request-Source Mismatch","id":"CVE-2026-17540","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"missing_authorization","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Bit File Manager \u003c 6.9.1 - Unauthenticated File Activity Log Disclosure","id":"CVE-2026-17541"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Null dereference in RTU500 series CMU firmware","id":"CVE-2026-17539"},"products":["File Manager"],"published":"2026-08-10","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"MIT","name":"Nuclei templates"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-08-11","vendors":["Unknown"]},"summary":"Authenticated subscribers can read and delete arbitrary files in the WordPress installation, leading to information disclosure and denial of service.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-17540/"}
