Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: Media Hygiene: Remove or Delete Unused Images and More! plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 3.0.1

Description: The issue is related to a missing capability check on the bulk action delete and delete single image call AJAX actions. This allows authenticated attackers with Subscriber-level access and above to delete arbitrary attachments. A nonce check was added in version 3.0.1, but a capability check was only added in version 3.0.2.

Recommendations: For versions up to, and including, 3.0.1, update to version 3.0.2 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the bulk action delete and delete single image call AJAX actions until a patch is available. Restrict access to the bulk action delete and delete single image call AJAX actions to minimize the risk of exploitation.
