AI-suggested

Until an official fix is available, users should consider disabling or removing the WP Image Uploader plugin to prevent exploitation. Monitoring for unusual file deletions and restricting access to the plugin's functionality may help reduce risk, but no vendor-provided mitigation is currently documented.

Description

The WP Image Uploader plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file deletion due to insufficient file path validation in the gky_image_uploader_main_function() function in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.1. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers 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).
