    CVE-2025-8357

    The Media Library Assistant plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file deletion in the /wp-content/uploads directory due to insufficient file path validation and user capability checking in the _process_mla_download_file function in all versions up to, and including, 3.27. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Author-level access and above, to delete arbitrary files on the server from the /wp-content/uploads/ directory.
