PictShare before 3.7.1 contains an information disclosure vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to obtain the secret delete_code and uploader metadata by calling the API::info() endpoint which returns the complete raw metadata object without a field whitelist. Attackers can use the publicly visible file hash to retrieve the delete_code via the info API and then invoke the delete API to permanently delete arbitrary files, while also exposing uploader IP, User Agent, remote port, and SHA-1 hash, resulting in loss of content integrity, availability, and uploader privacy.
Weakness
The product transmits or stores authentication credentials, but it uses an insecure method that is susceptible to unauthorized interception and/or retrieval.
