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
