Multiple directory traversal vulnerabilities in fm.php in Simple File Manager (SFM) 0.24a allow remote attackers to use ".." sequences to (1) read arbitrary files via the filename parameter in a download action, (2) delete arbitrary files via the delete parameter, and (3) modify arbitrary files via the edit parameter, which can be leveraged to execute arbitrary code.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Plain-English summary

CVE-2006-6376 affects Simple File Manager 0.24a. A vulnerable fm.php page can let a remote attacker traverse directories to read, delete, or change files outside the intended file area. If that page is exposed, file modification could lead to arbitrary code execution.

Executive priority

Treat exposed instances as urgent legacy risk. The business concern is not just data exposure; the flaw may allow destructive file changes and potential server-side code execution.

Technical view

The CVE describes multiple directory traversal flaws in fm.php. The download filename parameter can read arbitrary files, while delete and edit parameters can delete or modify arbitrary files. The edit path may be leveraged for arbitrary code execution. The provided data has no CVSS, CWE, vendor patch, or CPE detail.

Likely exposure

Exposure is most likely on legacy websites still running Simple File Manager 0.24a with fm.php reachable by remote users. The source bundle does not identify broader products, package names, or maintained forks.

Exploitation context

The bundle includes an Exploit-DB reference, so public exploit information exists. KEV is false, and the provided sources do not state active exploitation in the wild.

Researcher notes

Affected metadata is incomplete in the bundle, but the CVE text specifically names SFM 0.24a and fm.php. No patch details are provided. Focus validation on reachable fm.php instances and evidence of unexpected file access or modification.

Mitigation direction

  • Inventory public sites for Simple File Manager 0.24a and fm.php exposure.
  • Remove or disable vulnerable SFM installations where they are no longer required.
  • Restrict access to fm.php behind trusted administrative controls immediately.
  • Check vendor or maintainer guidance for any supported upgrade or patch path.
  • Review and restore affected files from trusted backups if compromise is suspected.

Validation and detection

  • Confirm whether any internet-facing host runs Simple File Manager 0.24a.
  • Check web roots and deployed archives for fm.php from SFM.
  • Review web logs for unexpected fm.php download, delete, or edit activity.
  • Inspect sensitive files and web scripts for unauthorized changes.
  • Verify current backups exist before changing or removing the component.
