Until a fix is released, restrict user roles to trusted users only and monitor for suspicious activity related to file deletions. Avoid granting Subscriber or higher privileges to untrusted users.

Description

The WP Import – Ultimate CSV XML Importer for WordPress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file deletion due to insufficient file path validation in the upload_function() function in all versions up to, and including, 7.27. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-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).
