Missing Authorization vulnerability in Mitchell Bennis Simple File List.This issue affects Simple File List: from n/a through 6.1.9.

Vulnerabilidad de falta de autorización en Mitchell Bennis Simple File List. Este problema afecta a Simple File List: desde n/a hasta 6.1.9.

The Simple File List plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file deletion in versions up to, and including, 6.1.9. This is due to insufficient controls on files passed to a deletion function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to delete arbitrary files, which can lead to a denial of service or remote code execution when the wp-config.php file is deleted.
