What the vulnerability does
The ReviewX – Multi-criteria Rating & Reviews for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized deletion of data due to a missing capability check on the reviewx_remove_guest_image function in all versions up to, and including, 1.6.27. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber access and above, to delete attachments.
