Technical details

The upload_image function in the plugin fails to properly validate file paths, allowing authenticated users to traverse beyond the intended wp-content/uploads directory. Authors can delete arbitrary files they do not own by crafting malicious path parameters, bypassing access controls since all user attachments reside within the uploads tree. The vulnerability requires low-privilege WordPress authentication but no additional user interaction.
