## Technical details

A path traversal vulnerability (CWE-22) exists in AstrBot 4.23.6 within the API endpoint `/api/skills/delete`. The application fails to properly sanitize the 'Name' argument, allowing an attacker to use directory traversal sequences (e.g., '../') to escape the intended directory. A remote attacker with low privileges (authenticated user) can exploit this to delete arbitrary directories on the host system. A public exploit has been released, and the vendor has reportedly not responded to disclosure attempts.
