The record

The documents and files module in Admidio does not verify whether the current user has permission to delete folders or files. The `folder_delete` and `file_delete` action handlers in `modules/documents-files.php` only perform a VIEW authorization check (`getFolderForDownload` / `getFileForDownload`) before calling `delete()`, and they never validate a CSRF token. Because the target UUIDs are read from `$_GET`, deletion can be triggered by a plain HTTP GET request. When the module is in public mode (`documents_files_module_enabled = 1`) and a folder is marked public (`fol_public = true`), an unauthenticated attacker can permanently destroy the entire document library. Even when the module requires login, any user with view-only access can delete content they are only permitted to read.
