Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
elFinder (Packagist studio-42/elfinder) versions before 2.1.70 do not apply CSRF validation to the netmount command. In the shipped minimal connector configuration, where FTP network mounts are enabled by default, a cross-site request can make a victim's elFinder session mount an attacker-chosen FTP endpoint and cause the server to open an outbound FTP connection. Upgrade to version 2.1.70, which is the fixed release.
