Exploitation Conditions

Requires an authenticated backend session for a user granted article-edit permission; exploitation is performed by supplying a crafted path in an article's image metadata, which is concatenated into a filesystem path and passed to unlink() with no traversal or directory validation (CWE-22). Limiting factors: the account must exist and hold edit rights (PR:L, not anonymous), only files writable by the PHP/web-server process can be deleted, and there is no confidentiality or code-execution impact - the primitive is file deletion only. No special non-default feature toggle is named in the description beyond having article-edit access to the CMS backend.

Impact

This is a moderate, not urgent, priority. The CVSS 3.1 base score of 6.5 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N) reflects a network-reachable, low-complexity flaw but one that explicitly requires prior authentication (PR:L) as a backend user holding article-edit permission - so it is not an anonymous internet-facing bug. All quantitative exploitation signals point low: EPSS is 0.24% (14th percentile), the CVE is NOT on CISA KEV, and no public exploit code was identified among the references (the tao0845 link is a CVE request/write-up, not weaponized POC). No SSVC decision data was provided in the input. The impact is scoped to arbitrary file deletion of files writable by the PHP process, which CVSS encodes as I:H with C:N/A:N - note this is a modeling choice: unauthenticated-to-attacker it is integrity, but arbitrary deletion of web-writable files (e.g., config or content) realistically degrades availability too, which the vector does not credit. Net: a genuine authenticated post-exploitation/privilege-abuse issue in a niche CMS, not a mass-exploitation threat.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker who already holds a low-privileged backend account with article-edit rights edits an article's image metadata, embedding a path-traversal sequence (e.g., ../../) so the value is concatenated into a filesystem path and passed to unlink(). On save, the application deletes an arbitrary file writable by the PHP process, such as a configuration file or another user's uploaded content. No public exploit code was identified at time of analysis; exploitation requires valid authenticated access.

AnalysisAIv1 – Oct 06, 2026

Arbitrary file deletion in Feehi CMS 2.1.1 allows an authenticated backend user holding article-edit permission to remove any file that is writable by the PHP/web-server process. The attacker supplies a crafted path through an article's image metadata, which the application concatenates into a filesystem path and passes to unlink() without traversal or directory validation (CWE-22). There is no confidentiality or code-execution impact - the primitive is file deletion only - and no public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis; EPSS is low at 0.24% (14th percentile), consistent with a moderate, not urgent, priority.

RemediationAI

No vendor-released patch was identified in the available intelligence at time of analysis, and no fixed version number is named in any reference, so remediation must initially rely on compensating controls. The most effective control is to remove the exposure path itself: revoke article-edit permission from all but a small, trusted set of backend accounts, since the vulnerability requires PR:L-level access and cannot be triggered anonymously - the trade-off is reduced editorial throughput. As a second layer, harden the filesystem so the PHP process cannot delete anything beyond its own upload directory, for example by running the web server under a dedicated low-privilege user whose write permissions are confined to the uploads/content tree and by removing write bits on application source, config, and log directories (chmod/chown hardening); the trade-off is that some legitimate maintenance or log-rotation tasks will need a separate privileged process. Where the codebase can be modified, patch the image-metadata handling to resolve realpath() on the resulting path and reject any value that falls outside the intended image directory before calling unlink(), and additionally validate that the target is a regular file rather than a directory or symlink. Network-level controls such as restricting /admin (or the equivalent backend path) by IP allowlist or placing it behind an authenticating reverse proxy reduce the attack surface but do not fix the underlying flaw and can interfere with remote editorial workflows. Continue monitoring https://github.com/liufee/cms and the NVD entry at https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-95264 for an upstream fix, and re-test once a patched release is published.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The root cause is a classic CWE-22 improper limitation of a pathname to a restricted directory, occurring in a PHP web application. Feehi CMS stores article image metadata as user-controlled input and later reuses that stored value to build a filesystem path, which is handed directly to PHP's unlink() function without normalization, realpath() resolution, or containment checks against an allowed upload directory. Because unlink() honors relative segments such as '../', an editor-supplied metadata value can escape the intended image directory and target any absolute or relative path the web-server user can write to. Exploitation requires a legitimate authenticated backend session with article-edit rights (CVSS vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N), so it is not anonymous and not remotely reachable without credentials; the CVSS impact vector shows integrity-only (I:H) with no confidentiality or availability component. The supplied CPE record is uninformative (cpe:2.3:a:n/a:n/a), so product identification relies on the description and the upstream project repository (github.com/liufee/cms) rather than a structured CPE.

DescriptionCVE.org

Feehi CMS 2.1.1 is vulnerable to Directory Traversal. An authenticated backend user with article edit permission can delete arbitrary files writable by the PHP process. Article image metadata is used to construct a filesystem path and is passed to unlink() without path traversal or directory validation.
