Published Dec 15, 2025 · Updated Dec 15, 2025
Missing authorization in Ninja Team FileBird 6.5.1 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to tamper with media folders and attachments. ConvertController::insertToNewTable accepts a user-controlled key without validating authorization, enabling insertion of global folders and reassignment of arbitrary media attachments. Author-level WordPress access or higher is required; the consequence is limited to unauthorized modification of folder organization and attachment assignments.
