Summary

The Custom Fields WordPress plugin before 1.5.1 does not validate a user-supplied file path before deletion, allowing unauthenticated users to delete arbitrary files on the server (such as wp-config.php), which can lead to a full site takeover.

Does this affect you?

Add your gear to cvedb and we'll alert you only when a vendor you run ships something exploited.
