Image Cleanup will index unreferenced images. These can be leftovers from cropping and scaling images. Stop them cluttering your content folder! — by opicron
What to do
- There is no fixed version yet. If you can live without Image Cleanup for now, deactivate it and delete it until the developer ships a fix.
- If you must keep it, limit who can log in (remove unused accounts, especially low-level ones) and put a web application firewall in front of the site.
- Watch for an update: get an email when this page changes.
- If you ran a vulnerable version and something looks off (spam pages, strange admins, redirects), run the free scan, or have us clean it: Emergency Cleanup, $499.
With WP-CLI: wp plugin get image-cleanup --field=version shows what you run; wp plugin update image-cleanup updates it.

Where this data comes from
- Version, last update, installs: wordpress.org/plugins/image-cleanup (Plugins API), fetched 2026-11-04.
- Vulnerabilities: NIST National Vulnerability Database (NVD), checked 2026-11-04. This product uses data from the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.
- Each record links to its CVE page and to the original advisory (Wordfence, Patchstack or WPScan) where there is one. We only list a CVE here when its references or its advisory name this exact plugin, so a few real issues may be missing; none should be about a different plugin. Spot an error? Email Daniel.
