WordPress Plugin Vulnerabilities

Embed Privacy < 1.12.4 - Authenticated (Contributor+) Arbitrary File Deletion

Description

The Embed Privacy plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file deletion due to insufficient file path validation in the [function-name] function in all versions up to, and including, 1.12.3. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to delete arbitrary files on the server, which can easily lead to remote code execution when the right file is deleted (such as wp-config.php).

Affects Plugins

Fixed in 1.12.4
