DescriptionGitHub Advisory

ConvertXis a self-hosted online file converter. In versions prior to 0.17.0, the POST /delete endpoint uses a user-controlled filename value to construct a filesystem path and deletes it via unlink without sufficient validation. By supplying path traversal sequences (e.g., ../), an attacker can delete arbitrary files outside the intended uploads directory, limited only by the permissions of the server process. Version 0.17.0 fixes the issue.

AnalysisAI

Arbitrary file deletion in ConvertX prior to version 0.17.0 allows authenticated attackers to remove files outside the intended upload directory by exploiting insufficient path validation in the POST /delete endpoint. The vulnerability enables attackers to supply path traversal sequences that bypass directory restrictions, with impact limited only by server process permissions. …
