An easy to exploit vulnerability in a popular WordPress plugin has been found.

This article came across my screen early this morning. I anyone here is using File Manager I urge you to check out your site. You can read the full article here:

I am certain that Site Support and the WA team are well aware of this attack, but It never hurts to share information about potential problems that we face with our websites.

A fix has been developed and released by the file manage team, and I urge anyone who is unsure to check their sites and see if they have the File Manager plugin installed and if so to take appropriate action.

All the best
