Technical details
This is a path traversal vulnerability in the file deletion endpoint of Subrion CMS through version 4.2.1. The vulnerable code passes user-supplied file paths directly to PHP's unlink() function without proper sanitization or path canonicalization, allowing directory traversal sequences (e.g., ../../../) to reach files outside the intended directory. The attack requires valid administrator credentials and access to the admin panel file deletion feature. An authenticated admin can delete arbitrary files on the filesystem, including configuration files, system files, or application code outside the web root, leading to denial of service or privilege escalation opportunities. A patch or version update addressing path validation is recommended.
