Authenticated arbitrary file deletion via path traversal
Published Jan 15, 2026 · Updated Jan 15, 2026
Path traversal in DPanel before 1.9.2 allows remote authenticated users to delete arbitrary server files through the attachment API. The Delete function passes an unchecked path through GetSaveRealPath, whose filepath.Join call permits parent traversal, and then supplies the result to os.Remove. Administrative authentication is required; exploitation removes any file writable by the DPanel process, enabling data corruption or service interruption.
