"summary": "Meta Box <= 5.11.1 - Authenticated (Contributor+) Arbitrary File Deletion",
"details": "The Meta Box plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file deletion due to insufficient file path validation in the 'ajax_delete_file' function in all versions up to, and including, 5.11.1. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to delete arbitrary files on the server, which can easily lead to remote code execution when the right file is deleted (such as wp-config.php).",

The CVSS vector indicates PR:H (High privileges required), but the details state the attack is possible with "Contributor-level access and above", which is typically not “High” privileges. Update the CVSS vector to match the described privilege requirement (or adjust the details if PR:H is intentional).

Please confirm the package identifier matches the canonical Packagist package name. If this is a WordPress plugin that isn’t actually published under wpmetabox/meta-box on Packagist, downstream tooling may fail to associate the advisory with the correct package; use the correct Packagist name (or the appropriate ecosystem/package identity supported by your schema).
