CVSS 2.0
8.5
HighMetricsAV:N/AC:L/Au:S/C:N/I:C/A:C
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions:
CMS Made Simple versions prior to 2.2.8
Description:
The issue allows for arbitrary file deletion, potentially leading to a denial of service (DoS), and can be exploited by an admin user. This is because an attacker can remove all lib/ files in all directories through the "file delete" operation in the admin dashboard.
Recommendations:
For versions prior to 2.2.8, update to version 2.2.8 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the "file delete" operation in the admin dashboard to minimize the risk of exploitation.
