## Technical details

The deleteImage.json.php endpoint in the ADs plugin fails to properly validate the is_regular_user parameter, allowing an authenticated attacker to manipulate it with directory traversal sequences (../) or substitute other user IDs to access files outside the intended ads directory. The vulnerability requires authentication and custom ads permission, but allows deletion of critical files like videos/configuration.php via an unvalidated path passed to the getAdsPath() function.
