Summary
The Directorist: AI-Powered Business Directory, Listings & Classified Ads WordPress plugin before 8.9.3 does not sanitize a user-supplied image reference before using it as the source of a file move, allowing users with a subscriber-level account to relocate arbitrary server-readable image files into a publicly accessible directory, and to delete them from their original location.
