CVE-2025-66292

CVE-2025-66292 is a high-severity path traversal vulnerability in github.com/donknap/dpanel (go), affecting versions < 1.9.2. It is fixed in 1.9.2.

Summary

DPanel has an arbitrary file deletion vulnerability in the /api/common/attach/delete interface. Authenticated users can delete arbitrary files on the server via path traversal.

Details

When a user 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 (../).

The vulnerable code snippet:

And the helper function in common/service/storage/local.go uses filepath.Join, which resolves ../ but does not enforce a chroot/jail:

PoC

  1. Log in to the DPanel dashboard to obtain the Authorization token.
  2. Send a POST request to delete a file (e.g., /tmp/1.txt inside the container).

Request:

POST /dpanel/api/common/attach/delete HTTP/1.1
Host: target-ip:8807
Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_TOKEN>
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded

path=../../../../../../../../tmp/1.txt

Impact

Input manipulates file paths to reach files outside the intended directory, such as configuration or credential files. Typical impact: unauthorized file read or write outside the intended directory.

CVE-2025-66292 has a CVSS score of 8.1 (High). The vector is network-reachable, low privileges required, and no user interaction. A CVSS score reflects the worst-case severity of the vulnerability, not your specific exposure. Whether this affects your application depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable in your environment. A fixed version is available (1.9.2); upgrading removes the vulnerable code path.

Kodem intelligence

Severity tells you how bad this could be in the worst case. It does not tell you whether you are exposed. Exploitability and impact are functions of runtime truth: whether the vulnerable code is present, reachable, and actually executes in your application. A vulnerable package can sit in your dependency tree and never run.

Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to reveal which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so teams prioritize the ones that genuinely matter. Kodem's runtime-powered SCA identifies whether this CVE is reachable in your applications.

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. What is CVE-2025-66292? CVE-2025-66292 is a high-severity path traversal vulnerability in github.com/donknap/dpanel (go), affecting versions < 1.9.2. It is fixed in 1.9.2. Input manipulates file paths to reach files outside the intended directory, such as configuration or credential files.
  2. How severe is CVE-2025-66292? CVE-2025-66292 has a CVSS score of 8.1 (High). This score reflects the worst-case severity of the vulnerability, not your specific exposure. Whether it represents real risk in your environment depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable.
  3. Which versions of github.com/donknap/dpanel are affected by CVE-2025-66292? github.com/donknap/dpanel (go) versions < 1.9.2 is affected.
  4. Is there a fix for CVE-2025-66292? Yes. CVE-2025-66292 is fixed in 1.9.2. Upgrade to this version or later.
  5. Is CVE-2025-66292 exploitable, and should I be worried? Whether CVE-2025-66292 is exploitable in your environment depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable. A CVSS score is a worst-case rating; it does not account for your specific deployment, configuration, or usage patterns. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to show which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so you can focus on the ones that represent real risk.

  6. What actually determines whether CVE-2025-66292 is exploitable, and how bad it is? Exploitability and impact are not fixed properties of a CVE. They depend on runtime truth: whether the vulnerable code is present, reachable, and actually executes in your application. A high CVSS score on a dependency that never runs is not the same as real risk. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to reveal which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so teams prioritize the ones that genuinely matter.
  7. How do I fix CVE-2025-66292? Upgrade github.com/donknap/dpanel to 1.9.2 or later.
