Technical details
The vulnerability exists in the 'wpuf_file_del' AJAX action due to insufficient authorization checks. An unauthenticated attacker can obtain a valid nonce from public plugin pages (such as registration or profile forms) and send a crafted POST request to 'admin-ajax.php' specifying an 'attach_id'. If the target attachment has no assigned author (post_author=0), such as guest uploads or system placeholders, the plugin will permanently delete both the database record and the physical file. This issue is resolved in version 4.3.8.
