Summary
CVE-2025-66292 is a high-severity Path Traversal (CWE-22) vulnerability in Dpanel Dpanel. Its CVSS base score is 8.1 (High).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Data from Local System (T1005); ranked at the 47th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog; a public proof-of-concept is referenced.
The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to AC-3 (Access Enforcement) and SI-10 (Information Input Validation) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.
DPanel, an open-source server management panel written in Go, contains an arbitrary file deletion vulnerability (CVE-2025-66292) affecting versions prior to 1.9.2. The issue resides in the /api/common/attach/delete interface, specifically the Delete function in app/common/http/controller/attach.go. User-supplied path parameters are passed unsanitized to storage.Local{}.GetSaveRealPath and then to os.Remove, allowing path traversal via sequences like ../. The helper function in common/service/storage/local.go employs filepath.Join, which resolves but does not block traversal due to the absence of chroot or jail enforcement. This flaw is rated 8.1 on the CVSS 3.1 scale (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:H) and maps to CWE-22 (Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory) and CWE-73 (External Control of File Name or Path).
Authenticated users with access to the administrative backend can exploit this vulnerability remotely over the network with low complexity and no user interaction required. By submitting crafted path parameters to the delete endpoint, attackers can traverse directories and delete arbitrary files on the server, potentially disrupting services, destroying data, or enabling further compromise through targeted deletions like configuration files or binaries.
The vulnerability is addressed in DPanel version 1.9.2, as detailed in the project's security advisory (GHSA-vh2x-fw87-4fxq), release notes, and fixing commit (cbda0d90204e8212f2010774345c952e42069119). Security practitioners should upgrade to 1.9.2 or later and review access controls for the administrative backend to mitigate exposure.

logs into the administrative backend, this interface can be used to delete files. The vulnerability lies in the Delete function within the app/common/http/controller/attach.go file. The path parameter submitted by the user is directly passed to storage.Local{}.GetSaveRealPath and subsequently to os.Remove without proper sanitization or checking for path traversal characters (../). And the helper function in common/service/storage/local.go uses filepath.Join, which resolves ../ but does not enforce a chroot/jail. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.9.2.

Enforces the intended directory access authorizations that path traversal would otherwise bypass.
Input validation directly neutralizes special path elements before pathname construction occurs.
Least privilege reduces the impact of any unauthorized file access obtained via traversal.

Secure SDLC practices include input validation and path sanitization that eliminate this weakness.
Least-privilege file authorization directly limits damage from externally controlled paths.
Patching/maintenance can remediate known path-traversal flaws in deployed software (partial prevention of exploitability) but does nothing to stop the coding defect from being introduced in the first place.
