CVE-2016-15042: Najeebmedia Frontend File Manager

Critical severity, CVSS 9.8. EPSS: 5.7% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

The Frontend File Manager (versions < 4.0), N-Media Post Front-end Form (versions < 1.1) plugins for WordPress are vulnerable to arbitrary file uploads due to missing file type validation via the `nm_filemanager_upload_file` and `nm_postfront_upload_file` AJAX actions. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to upload arbitrary files on the affected sites server which may make remote code execution possible.

Affected products

• Najeebmedia Frontend File Manager: before 4.0 (fixed in 4.0)
• Najeebmedia Post Front-End Form: before 1.1 (fixed in 1.1)
