CVE-2023-1467Network attack vector

Unauthenticated file deletion via unrestricted path parameter

Published Mar 17, 2023 · Updated Aug 2, 2024

Path traversal in SourceCodester Student Study Center Desk Management System 1.0 allows remote attackers to delete files via a POST request. The delete_img action in Master.php passes the caller-controlled path parameter to file deletion without restricting it to the intended directory. No authentication or user interaction is required, and a crafted absolute path can remove files accessible to the web-server process.
