CVE-2018-16363 File Manager [wp-file-manager] < 3.0 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') Medium 5.4 < 3.0 3.0 2018-09-06

CVE-2018-16363

The File Manager plugin before version 3.0 contains a cross-site scripting vulnerability through the lang parameter passed to wp-admin/admin.php?page=wp_file_manager. The flaw arises from improper handling of user input in file_folder_manager.php where set_transient is called, combined with unescaped output of the lang variable in lib\wpfilemanager.php, allowing attackers to inject malicious scripts.
