Description
The `AssetsController->replaceFile()` method has a `targetFilename` body parameter that is used unsanitized in a `deleteFile()` call before `Assets::prepareAssetName()` is applied on save. This allows an authenticated user with `replaceFiles` permission to delete arbitrary files within the same filesystem root by injecting `../` path traversal sequences into the filename.
This could allow an authenticated user with `replaceFiles` permission on one volume to delete files in other folders/volumes that share the same filesystem root.
This only affects local filesystems.
Users should update to Craft 4.17.5 or 5.9.11 to mitigate the issue.
