CVE-2026-31216

Unauthorized Deletion of Files via Backend REST API

Published May 12, 2026 CVSS 3.1 · 9.1 Critical EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
The nexent v1.7.5.2 backend service contains an unauthorized arbitrary storage file deletion vulnerability in its file management API. The DELETE /storage/{object_name:path} endpoint lacks authentication, authorization, and input validation mechanisms. Unauthenticated remote attackers can send crafted requests with a user-controlled object_name path parameter to delete arbitrary files from the underlying MinIO storage system. Successful exploitation leads to data loss and denial of service.
