CVE-2026-3695Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Unauthenticated file deletion via unvalidated filename

Published Mar 8, 2026 · Updated Mar 8, 2026

Path traversal in SourceCodester Modern Image Gallery App 1.0 allows remote attackers to delete server files via delete.php. The handler concatenates the unvalidated filename POST value to images/ and passes the resolved path to unlink(), allowing ../ sequences to escape that directory. No authentication or user interaction is required; deletion is limited to files writable by the web-server account and can interrupt the application.
