Summary
Maxi Blocks <= 2.1.8 - Missing Authorization to Authenticated (Author+) Media File Deletion via 'old_media_src' Parameter
Original description
The description as published by the source.
The MaxiBlocks Builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary media file deletion due to insufficient file ownership validation on the 'maxi_remove_custom_image_size' AJAX action in all versions up to, and including, 2.1.8. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Author-level access and above, to delete arbitrary files in the wp-content/uploads directory, including files uploaded by other users and administrators.
