 * Hello!
   Just so I understand, were Shortcodes already allowed in the free plugin?
   Now they are only possible via PRO?For me this is better, I don’t want Shortcodes,
   I just need to be sure that this is not a feature that could return to the free
   version and leave me vulnerable.

 * Hello [ofmarconi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ofmarconi/),
   We hope you
   are doing well.Let’s clear up any misunderstandings:
    - **Shortcodes in WP File Manager:** Our free version of WP File Manager does
      not currently offer shortcode functionality. This is a core feature reserved
      for the Pro version.
    - **Security Concerns:** We understand your concern about vulnerabilities. There
      are no ongoing security issues related to shortcodes in our WP File Manager
      plugin.
    - **WP File Manager vs. Advanced File Manager:** It’s important to note that
      WP File Manager and Advanced File Manager are two separate plugins. 
      The security
      issue you mentioned with shortcodes (**CVE-2023-7061** link: [Wordfence Threat Intelligence Page](https://www.wordfence.com/threat-intel/vulnerabilities/wordpress-plugins/file-manager-advanced-shortcode-2/advanced-file-manager-shortcode-253-authenticated-contributor-arbitrary-file-upload))
      applies specifically to the **_Advanced File Manager Shortcode plugin, not
      ours._**
 * We prioritize security and constantly work to ensure our plugin remains secure.
   
   Best,WP File Manager Support Team
