What to do

AI-suggested

Until a fix is available, restrict Subscriber-level access and monitor for updates from the plugin vendor.

Description

The WordPress User Extra Fields plugin is vulnerable to arbitrary file deletion due to insufficient file path validation in the save_fields() function in all versions up to and including 16.7. Authenticated users with Subscriber-level access or higher can exploit this flaw to delete arbitrary files on the server, potentially leading to remote code execution if critical files like wp-config.php are deleted.
