Description
The Easy Media Replace plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file deletion due to file path validation in the replace function in versions up to, and including, 0.1.3. This makes it possible for author-level attackers to delete arbitrary files on the affected site's server. File deletion is limited to files of the same mime type the attacker can upload.
