File deletion in Zoho ManageEngine Endpoint Central 11.3.2416.21 and earlier or 11.3.2428.9 and earlier allows local users to delete files. The agent tray's Archive Logs action deletes files from directories the current user cannot otherwise access; the vendor has not disclosed the faulty path-handling operation. Exploitation requires physical device access and can escalate privileges or remove protected files; network-only access is not reported.
