Last modified
CVE-2026-16292 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 5.4/10 on the CVSS scale. The Frontend File Manager Plugin WordPress plugin through 23.6 does not perform nonce validation on one of its file-metadata update actions, allowing an attacker to modify the metadata of a logged-in user's uploaded file via a CSRF attack, which can be leveraged to download that file.
