Detailed vulnerability description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform directory traversal attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to input validation error when processing directory traversal sequences in lib/filemanager/imagemanager/images.php in CMS Made Simple (CMSMS) before 1.11.2.1. A remote authenticated attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request and remote authenticated administrators to delete arbitrary files via a . (dot dot) in the deld parameter. NOTE: this can be leveraged using CSRF (CVE-2012-5450) to allow remote attackers to delete arbitrary files.
