Overview

studio-42/elfinder is an open-source file manager for web, written in JavaScript using jQuery UI.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Remote Code Execution (RCE). An attacker could execute arbitrary code and commands on the server hosting the elFinder PHP connector, even with minimal configuration. As a workaround, ensure the connector is not exposed without authentication.
