Last modified
CVE-2024-5855 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 4.3/10 on the CVSS scale. The Media Hygiene: Remove or Delete Unused Images and More! plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized loss of data due to a missing capability check on the bulk_action_delete and delete_single_image_call AJAX actions in all versions up to, and including, 3.0.1. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to delete arbitrary attachments. EPSS estimates a 0.38% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
