CVE-2024-43011Network attack vector

Arbitrary file deletion via unsanitized traversal path

Published Aug 16, 2024 · Updated Aug 19, 2024

Path traversal in admin/del.php in ZZCMS 2023 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to delete arbitrary server files. The deletion handler passes an insufficiently validated user-supplied path to its file-removal operation, so traversal sequences escape the intended directory. Administrative privileges are required, and deleting critical files can disrupt site operation or destroy hosted data.
