Description
The WPFunnels WordPress plugin up to version 3.6.2 contains a vulnerability in the wpfnl_delete_log() function that allows authenticated administrators to delete arbitrary files on the server. This occurs due to insufficient validation of file paths. Exploiting this flaw can lead to remote code execution if critical files like wp-config.php are deleted.
