Arbitrary file deletion via unrestricted deletion target
Published Feb 3, 2025 · Updated Feb 4, 2025
Arbitrary file deletion in ChestnutCMS 1.5.0 and earlier allows remote attackers to delete any server-accessible file or folder. The contentcore.controller.FileController accepts an attacker-controlled deletion target without restricting it to an authorized path. No authentication or user interaction is required, and deletion is bounded by the filesystem permissions of the CMS process.
