The flaw exists in all versions up to and including 7.9.6. The vulnerability stems from insufficient permission validation within the plugin's code, which fails to verify whether a user possesses the necessary privileges to perform file deletion actions. Consequently, any authenticated user with subscriber-level access or higher can invoke the affected function to delete arbitrary media files from the WordPress Media Library. This vulnerability is significant as it provides a vector for unauthorized data destruction, potentially impacting site content and functionality if attackers abuse this capability to remove critical images or assets.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"impact\"\u003eImpact\u003c/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe vulnerability affects users running Checkout Field Manager for WooCommerce versions 7.9.6 and earlier. Successful exploitation results in the unauthorized deletion of media files from the WordPress Media Library.
