Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
The october/cms package for OctoberCMS versions 1.0.319 up to but not including 1.0.466 is vulnerable to arbitrary file deletion. An attacker needs an authenticated backend user with the cms.manage_assets permission, and can then delete arbitrary local files on the server. Upgrade to version 1.0.466, or apply the patch from the linked commit manually if upgrading is not possible.
