CVE-2022-4101

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Images Optimize and Upload CF7 WordPress plugin versions 2.1.4 and earlier

Description The issue concerns a lack of validation for files to be deleted via an AJAX action, which is accessible to unauthenticated users. This could allow attackers to delete arbitrary files on the server using a path traversal attack.

Recommendations For versions 2.1.4 and earlier, as a temporary workaround, consider disabling the AJAX action related to file deletion until a patch is available. Restrict access to the file deletion functionality to minimize the risk of exploitation. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
