Title
NinjaScanner – Virus & Malware scan <= 3.2.5 - Authenticated (Administrator+) Arbitrary File Deletion
Summary
The NinjaScanner – Virus & Malware scan plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file deletion due to insufficient file path validation in the 'nscan_ajax_quarantine' and 'nscan_quarantine_select' functions in all versions up to, and including, 3.2.5.
