AI-suggested

If you cannot patch yet, restrict access to the vulnerable endpoint if possible and monitor for suspicious deletion activity. Avoid exposing the plugin's public endpoints to untrusted users.

Description

The WP Photo Album Plus WordPress plugin before 9.2.07.002 does not validate a client-controlled value used to build a file path in one of its public endpoint actions, and performs no authorisation check on it, allowing unauthenticated attackers to delete arbitrary ZIP archives on the server, including ones stored outside the web root.
