CVE-2026-47226: Admidio: Authorization bypass in file_delete enables cross-folder file removal by authenticated users without delete privileges

An authenticated Admidio member with upload rights on any one folder can permanently delete files from folders where they have only view access. The authorization check at the top of modules/documents-files.php evaluates upload rights against the attacker-supplied folder_uuid URL parameter — not the file’s actual parent folder. The file_delete handler then only verifies view rights on the file’s real location, never upload rights. By passing a folder they legitimately own in folder_uuid while targeting a file in a restricted folder via file_uuid, an attacker bypasses the upload-right check entirely and permanently deletes the file.

This is an incomplete fix of GHSA-rmpj-3x5m-9m5f, which was patched in v5.0.7 but remains exploitable in v5.0.9.

Affected Version: Admidio v5.0.9
