Affected: 8.3.6 and older
Fixed in: 8.3.7 *
Access needed (per CVSS): Needs a low-level account (e.g. subscriber)

Details from the advisory

The Media Library Folders plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Insecure Direct Object Reference in all versions up to, and including, 8.3.6 via the delete_maxgalleria_media() and maxgalleria_rename_image() functions due to missing validation on a user controlled key.
