Impact
The vulnerability is a Cross‑Site Request Forgery flaw in the Delete Original Image WordPress plugin. The missing CSRF token validation (CWE‑352) enables an attacker to force a logged‑in user to execute delete actions that remove original images from the site. As a result, the integrity of media assets is compromised, leading to permanent data loss when images are removed without consent.
Affected Systems
The issue affects the Carlos Minatti Delete Original Image plugin for WordPress, with all releases up to and including version 0.4. Any WordPress host that has installed this plugin, particularly sites that retain original media, is vulnerable.
Risk and Exploitability
The CVSS base score is 4.3, indicating a moderate risk. The EPSS score of < 1 % reflects a very low probability of exploitation at the current time, and the vulnerability is not listed in KEV. Attackers would need the victim to be authenticated to the target site and would rely on an HTTP request that bypasses the missing CSRF check. If such a request is crafted, image files could be deleted automatically by the plugin’s action hooks.
