A path traversal issue exists in the `delete rule file` and `delete decoder file` helpers. This allows malicious cluster workers possessing the cluster key to delete arbitrary files, such as `ossec.conf`, `client.keys`, or rules, by sending traversal sequences through the DistributedAPI via an unvalidated `filename` parameter. Path traversal is a technique used to access files and directories that are stored outside the web root folder by manipulating variables such as file paths.
