CVE-2026-92713Modula Image Gallery <= 3.0.2 - Missing Authorization to Authenticated (Author+) Arbitrary File Deletion (Non-PHP) via 'file' Parameter
High 8.1
In plain English
A high-severity missing authorization in Modula Image Gallery – Photo Grid & Video Gallery from wpchill. There are no confirmed reports of exploitation so far. The chance it is exploited in the next 30 days is estimated at 0.3% (higher than 24% of all known vulnerabilities).
Official 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.
