CVE-2024-9669Network attack vector

Administrator-level code execution via locale path traversal

Published Nov 28, 2024 · Updated Apr 8, 2026

Local JavaScript file inclusion in Ninja Team File Manager Pro – Filester 1.8.5 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to execute code. The file-manager request uses the untrusted fm_locale value to select a local JavaScript asset without confining the resulting path to approved locale files. Administrator privileges are required; uploaded images or other normally safe file types can become executable content, exposing site data and control.
