Technical details

An arbitrary file deletion vulnerability exists in PerfreeBlog v4.0.11 within the `unInstallTheme` function. The application fails to properly validate or sanitize the `themePath` parameter before using it in file system operations. By supplying directory traversal sequences (e.g., `../../`), a remote attacker can escape the intended theme directory and delete arbitrary files on the host server. While the CVSS vector suggests some user interaction (UI:R), the technical report indicates the vulnerability is reachable via a direct API request to `/api/auth/theme/unInstallTheme`. Successful exploitation can lead to data loss or denial of service by deleting critical application or system files.
