An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2026-17542 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-2026-17542/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-17542/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-17542","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-17542/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-17542","record":{"aliases":[],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Authenticated subscribers can bypass capability checks to browse the WordPress directory and download sensitive files via the file manager connector.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"WPScan","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-200","name":"Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor"}],"description":"The File Manager WordPress plugin before 6.9.1 does not perform any capability check on one of its file manager connector endpoints, allowing any authenticated user, such as a subscriber, to browse the entire WordPress installation directory and download files of certain types from it, including archives and documents which may contain sensitive data.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Bit File Manager \u003c 6.9.1 - Subscriber+ Sensitive Data Disclosure via bitapps_fm_connector","id":"CVE-2026-17542","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":"SQL injection in ext-pgsql via E'...' backslash breakout","id":"CVE-2026-17543"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Bit File Manager \u003c 6.9.1 - Unauthenticated File Activity Log Disclosure","id":"CVE-2026-17541"},"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)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"yes","exploitation":"poc","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-08-10","vendors":["Unknown"]},"summary":"Authenticated subscribers can bypass capability checks to browse the WordPress directory and download sensitive files via the file manager connector.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-17542/"}
