Arbitrary File Deletion in Modula Image Gallery WordPress Plugin

Publication date: 2026-09-25

Last updated on: 2026-09-25

Assigner: Wordfence

Description
The Modula Image Gallery – Photo Grid & Video Gallery plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file deletion due to insufficient file path validation in the upload_image function in all versions up to, and including, 3.0.2. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with author-level access and above, to delete arbitrary files on the server. The path restriction to wp-content/uploads is not an effective ownership boundary, as all user attachment files reside within that tree, and Authors trivially satisfy the edit_post check on their own galleries.

Executive Summary

The Modula Image Gallery plugin for WordPress has a flaw in its file upload function that allows authenticated attackers with author-level access or higher to delete arbitrary files on the server. The vulnerability exists because the plugin does not properly validate file paths during uploads, bypassing intended restrictions.

Detection Guidance

Check WordPress installations for the Modula Image Gallery plugin versions up to 3.0.2. Review server logs for unauthorized file deletion attempts in wp-content/uploads directories. Look for suspicious activity by authors with edit_post permissions.

Impact Analysis

If you use this plugin, attackers could delete critical files on your WordPress server, including system files, plugins, themes, or media. This could lead to website downtime, data loss, or complete site compromise. The impact is severe as it requires only author-level access.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability could lead to unauthorized file deletion, potentially violating data integrity requirements under GDPR and HIPAA. If sensitive files are deleted or corrupted, it may result in non-compliance with these regulations, leading to legal and financial penalties.

Mitigation Strategies

Update the Modula Image Gallery plugin to the latest version beyond 3.0.2. Restrict author-level access to only necessary users. Monitor wp-content/uploads for unexpected file deletions. Consider disabling the plugin temporarily if an update is unavailable.
