CVE-2026-24741 Details
Description
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.
A path traversal vulnerability allowing arbitrary file deletion has been identified in ConvertX versions prior to 0.17.0. The issue arises in the 'POST /delete' endpoint, where a user-controlled 'filename' value is used to construct a filesystem path. The endpoint deletes the specified file using 'unlink' without adequate validation. By exploiting this flaw with path traversal sequences, an attacker can delete files outside the designated uploads directory, depending on the server process's permissions.
Users can upgrade to ConvertX version 0.17.0 or later, where this vulnerability has been fixed.
