Details

Duplicate Advisory

This advisory has been withdrawn because it is a duplicate of GHSA-gh9p-q46p-57g2. This link is maintained to preserve external references.

Original Description

phpMyFAQ before 4.1.2 contains a path traversal vulnerability in Client::deleteClientFolder that allows admins with INSTANCE_DELETE permission to delete arbitrary directories. Attackers can submit traversal sequences like https://../../../ in the client URL parameter to recursively delete directories outside the intended clientFolder scope.
