Authenticated arbitrary file deletion via unchecked old_logo path
Published May 18, 2025 · Updated May 19, 2025
Path traversal in Student Result Management System 1.0 allows remote authenticated users to delete arbitrary server files. In update_system.php, the Logo File Handler passes the attacker-controlled old_logo value to unlink without constraining the resolved path. Administrative access to the logo-update workflow is required, and deletion is limited to files writable by the web-server process, potentially damaging application data or interrupting service.
