CVE-2023-6907Network attack vector

Unauthenticated file deletion via unchecked file parameter

Published Dec 18, 2023 · Updated Aug 2, 2024

Improper authentication in Codelyfe Stupid Simple CMS 1.2.0 through 1.2.4 allows remote attackers to delete files through delete.php. The /file-manager/delete.php endpoint accepts the attacker-controlled file argument and performs deletion without authenticating the request. Network access to the endpoint is sufficient, and successful requests remove server-side files, impairing integrity and potentially service availability.
