CVE-2024-0221Network attack vector

Arbitrary file rename via path traversal

Published Feb 5, 2024 · Updated Apr 8, 2026

Path traversal in Photo Gallery by 10Web 1.8.19 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to rename arbitrary server files. The rename_item function accepts attacker-controlled path components and passes the resulting paths to a filesystem rename operation without confining them to the gallery directory. Administrator access is required by default; premium role delegation can expose the function to contributors, and renaming wp-config.php can enable site takeover.
