We have found a security issue that allows any user to make LTC delete any locally hosted image.
I will be posting more details soon and editing this to include the information.

I’m really curious how someone can exploit a script that is meant to be running locally with no external facing interface
Post edited with link to more information.
Ah. So Lemmy with version 0.19.4+ allows users to set a custom thumbnail URL for a post, which can be set to pretty much anything resembling a valid link, especially a link to another image in the local pictrs db and trigger a deletion of both when a minimum age check is passed.
Also this:
Except that the field allows some funny URLs e.g.
https://t.t/;';'%22;...[:%3C%3E?]%27;%20yaba%20daba%20doo, if this is an issue too is not confirmed
