  1. There is major risk with security with the file manager embedded in WP admin?

    • Only admins will be able to use it (in multisite/network mode, only super admins), all operations will be nonce protected and there will be global constant and options to disable it. Also, it’s a panel in admin so it can’t be accessed from the outside. If anyone has some other method that can be used to protect it, please leave comment.
