CVE-2026-12119

The Simple File List plugin for WordPress has a security flaw affecting all versions up to 6.3.7. A contributor-level user or higher can exploit this issue by creating a draft post with a specific shortcode, then accessing the post preview endpoint to obtain a required authorization token. This allows them to bypass intended access controls and perform arbitrary file operations such as deletion, moving files, creating folders, and downloading files without proper permission.
