CVE-2026-7311 is an arbitrary file deletion vulnerability in the TinyPNG – JPEG, PNG & WebP image compression plugin for WordPress affecting all versions up to and including 3.6.13. The flaw is caused by insufficient file path validation in the delete_converted_image_size function. An authenticated attacker with author-level privileges or higher can inject an arbitrary server-side file path into the 'convert.path' field within the 'tiny_compress_images' post meta for an attachment they own. When the attacker subsequently triggers deletion of that attachment, the vulnerable code path uses the attacker-controlled path and deletes the referenced file. This enables deletion of arbitrary files on the server and may create conditions for further compromise, including remote code execution if security-critical files are removed.
