AI-suggested
Upgrade the Directorist plugin to version 8.11 or later, where this vulnerability has been fixed. No other mitigation is required once the plugin is updated.
Description
A vulnerability in the Directorist WordPress plugin before version 8.11 allows authenticated users with Subscriber-level access or higher to delete arbitrary media library attachments, including those uploaded by administrators. This occurs because the plugin does not verify ownership of attachment IDs when updating listing images.
