    """
    Drag and Drop Multiple File Upload for CF7 <= 1.3.8.6 registers the nopriv AJAX action
    dnd_codedropz_upload_delete (inc/dnd-upload-cf7.php:28). The deletion target `path` is only
    sanitize_text_field()'d (../ survives), and the per-guest ownership check compares
    dnd_cf7_get_unique_id() (== $_COOKIE['wpcf7_guest_user_id'], attacker-controlled) against
    dirname($path) — so setting the cookie to '..' and path to '../<file>' satisfies the check and lets
    the attacker traverse out of the per-guest folder to delete any file under the plugin upload tree
    (wp-content/uploads/wp_dndcf7_uploads/), including other guests' uploads and the protective
    .htaccess/index.php. The required nonce is freely minted by the companion nopriv action
    _wpcf7_check_nonce, which returns a valid 'dnd-cf7-security-nonce' to anyone. The only extra hurdle
    is a cURL User-Agent block (line 999), bypassed with a browser UA. CF7/Flamingo are NOT required.
    
    Prior state: plugin active. A canary is planted inside the upload tree (as any uploaded file would
    be) to demonstrate deletion.
