WordPress Plugin Vulnerabilities
Media Library Assistant < 3.42 - Bulk Attachment Deletion via CSRF
Description
The plugin does not consistently validate its CSRF nonce on the Media Library bulk-action handler, checking the nonce only when its field is present, so a forged request that omits the field can cause a logged-in user with the Author role or above to trash or delete attachments.
