Unauthenticated file deletion via unchecked download handler

Published Oct 15, 2025 · Updated Oct 15, 2025

Missing authorization in Zip Attachments 1.6 and earlier allows remote attackers to delete arbitrary files in the current upload directory. The download.php handler builds a path from a requested filename in wp_upload_dir and deletes it without checking authorization or capabilities. No WordPress account or user interaction is required, but deletion is limited to files in the current wp_upload_dir directory.
