AI-suggested
Upgrade the File Manager plugin to version 8.0.5 or later, where this vulnerability is fixed. Servers should also ensure that .htaccess protections are properly applied to directories containing sensitive backup files to prevent unauthorized access. Since a fix is available in version 8.0.5, applying this official update is the recommended remediation.
Description
The File Manager WordPress plugin versions from 7.2.2 up to but not including 8.0.5 contain an information exposure vulnerability. Unauthenticated users can download database backup archives, which may be stored under a fixed filename. This can lead to exposure of sensitive data such as user email addresses and password hashes on servers that do not enforce .htaccess protections for the directory.
