Advisory

Source description from Wordfence Intelligence, credited to hoangphuong.

The Shared Files (free and pro) – File Upload & Download Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized access due to a missing capability check on a function in all versions up to 1.7.67 (exclusive - free) and 1.7.70 (exclusive - pro). This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to upload safe file types.
