Description
The WordPress User Extra Fields plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file deletion due to insufficient file path validation in the save_fields() function in all versions up to, and including, 16.7. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to delete arbitrary files on the server, which can easily lead to remote code execution when the right file is deleted (such as wp-config.php).

Executive Summary

This vulnerability exists in the WordPress User Extra Fields plugin up to version 16.7, where insufficient validation of file paths in the save_fields() function allows authenticated users with Subscriber-level access or higher to delete arbitrary files on the server. This can lead to serious consequences such as remote code execution if critical files like wp-config.php are deleted.

Impact Analysis

An attacker with at least Subscriber-level access can delete arbitrary files on the server, potentially causing denial of service or enabling remote code execution by deleting critical files. This can compromise the entire WordPress installation and server security.
