Summary
gin-vue-admin through 2.9.2 contains a path traversal flaw in which authenticated administrators can recursively delete arbitrary directories by supplying traversal sequences in the pluginName parameter. The flaw is tracked as CWE-22, and a crafted POST request to the removePlugin endpoint causes the server to delete any directory writable by the server process. The CVSS 4.0 vector requires high privileges and no user interaction, and it shows high integrity and availability impact.
