Upgrade BuddyForms to version 2.10.1 or later, where the vulnerability is fixed. No other mitigation is necessary as the official fix addresses the issue.

Description

A vulnerability in the BuddyForms WordPress plugin before version 2.10.1 allows unauthenticated attackers to delete media files uploaded by other unauthenticated visitors. This occurs because the plugin does not properly verify ownership before deleting guest-uploaded attachments.
