CVE-2025-30910Network attack vector

Unauthenticated file deletion via unchecked screenshot path

Published Apr 1, 2025 · Updated Apr 28, 2026

Path traversal in CreativeMinds CM Download Manager 2.9.6 and earlier allows remote attackers to delete arbitrary server files. The unauthenticated deletescreenshot() handler accepts an attacker-controlled file path without restricting it to the screenshot directory before deleting the resolved file. No login or user interaction is required, and deletion of WordPress configuration or core files can interrupt the site and enable code execution.
