Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
Performer Arbitrary File Deletion in Paid Videochat Turnkey Site <= 7.4.8 versions.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · moderate confidence

Arbitrary file deletion vulnerability in Paid Videochat Turnkey Site allows performers (a user role) to delete files outside their intended permissions. The vulnerability affects versions 7.4.8 and below, likely due to missing or insufficient authorization checks on file deletion operations.

MitigationUpgrade to version 7.4.9 or later. If patching is not immediately possible, restrict file system permissions and monitor for unauthorized file deletion activity.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify the Paid Videochat Turnkey Site installation
    Locate the application files and check for the presence of the Paid Videochat Turnkey Site software. Look for configuration files or admin panels that indicate this specific platform.
    Affected if The Paid Videochat Turnkey Site software is present in the environment
  2. Determine the installed version
    Check the application version information, typically found in an about page, admin dashboard, version file, or configuration file. Compare the version number to 7.4.8.
    Affected if The installed version is 7.4.8 or below
  3. Verify performer user role exists
    Check the user management system or database for the presence of a performer user role. Look for role definitions or user type configurations in the admin panel or user tables.
    Affected if A performer role is defined and active in the system
  4. Confirm file deletion functionality is accessible to performers
    Examine the file management features available to performer accounts. Test or inspect whether performers can access any file deletion capabilities through the web interface or API endpoints.
    Affected if Performer accounts have access to file deletion features
  5. Check for authorization controls on file deletion
    Review the code or configuration governing file deletion operations. Look for permission checks that verify whether the performer owns the file or has appropriate rights before allowing deletion.
    Affected if No ownership or permission verification exists before file deletion is allowed

The environment is affected if Paid Videochat Turnkey Site version 7.4.8 or below is installed with a performer role that can delete files without proper ownership or permission validation.
