Impact
We recently fixed several vulnerabilities affect elFinder 2.1.58. These vulnerabilities can allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code and commands on the server hosting the elFinder PHP connector, even with the minimal configuration.
Patches
The issues were addressed in our last release, 2.1.59.
Workarounds
If you can't update to 2.1.59, make sure your connector is not exposed without authentication.
Reference
Further technical details will be disclosed on https://blog.sonarsource.com/tag/security after some time.
