CVE-2024-47818: Saltcorn Server allows logged-in users to delete arbitrary files because of a path traversal vulnerability

October 7, 2024 (updated October 8, 2024)

A logged-in user with any role can delete arbitrary files on the filesystem by calling the sync/clean_sync_dir endpoint. The dir_name POST parameter is not validated/sanitized and is used to construct the syncDir that is deleted by calling fs.rm.
