Formidable Digital Signatures <= 3.0.6 - Unauthenticated Arbitrary File Deletion via Signature Field
Publisher and source text is retained separately from QFinch interpretation.
QFinch assessment
The Formidable Digital Signatures plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to file deletion due to insufficient file path validation in the delete_file function in all versions up to, and including, 3.0.6. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to delete files on the server by supplying an attacker-controlled filename in the item_meta[field_id][content] parameter alongside the delete_saved_image flag during the standard entry-creation POST flow on any form that accepts anonymous submissions.
