_joinPath in elFinderVolumeLocalFileSystem.class.php in elFinder before 2.1.62 allows path traversal in the PHP LocalVolumeDriver connector.

A File Upload vulnerability exists in Studio-42 elFinder 2.0.4 to 2.1.59 via connector.minimal.php, which allows a remote malicious user to upload arbitrary files and execute PHP code.

connector.minimal.php in std42 elFinder through 2.1.60 is affected by path traversal. This allows unauthenticated remote attackers to read, write, and browse files outside the configured document root. This is due to improper handling of absolute file paths.

elFinder is an open-source file manager for web, written in JavaScript using jQuery UI. 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 minimal configuration. The issues were patched in version 2.1.59. As a workaround, ensure the connector is not exposed without authentication.

The package studio-42/elfinder before 2.1.58 are vulnerable to Remote Code Execution (RCE) via execution of PHP code in a .phar file. NOTE: This only applies if the server parses .phar files as PHP.
