CVSS v3.1 |
| passwd in Directory Services in Mac OS X 10.3.x before 10.3.9 and 10.4.x before 10.4.5 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the .pwtmp.[PID] temporary file. |
| FreeBSD allows local users to conduct a denial of service by creating a hard link from a device special file to a file on an NFS file system. |
| script command in the util-linux package before 2.11n allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files by setting a hardlink from the typescript log file to any file on the system, then having root execute the script command. |
| Race condition in Java 1.4.2 before 1.4.2 Release 2 on Apple Mac OS X allows local users to corrupt files or create arbitrary files via unspecified attack vectors related to a temporary directory, possibly due to a symlink attack. |
| HP-UX 11.00 crontab allows local users to read arbitrary files via the -e option by creating a symlink to the target file during the crontab session, quitting the session, and reading the error messages that crontab generates. |
| Joe text editor follows symbolic links when creating a rescue copy called DEADJOE during an abnormal exit, which allows local users to overwrite the files of other users whose joe session crashes. |
| The mysqlaccess script in MySQL 4.0.23 and earlier, 4.1.x before 4.1.10, 5.0.x before 5.0.3, and other versions including 3.x, allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files or read temporary files via a symlink attack on temporary files. |
| KDE before 3.3.0 does not properly handle when certain symbolic links point to "stale" locations, which could allow local users to create or truncate arbitrary files. |
| NTFS file system in Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 2000 SP2 allows local attackers to hide file usage activities via a hard link to the target file, which causes the link to be recorded in the audit trail instead of the target file. |
| WFTPD 3.00 allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files by uploading a (link) file that ends in a ".lnk." extension, which bypasses WFTPD's check for a ".lnk" extension. |
| The (1) kantiword (kantiword.sh) and (2) gantiword (gantiword.sh) scripts in antiword 0.35 and earlier allow local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on temporary (a) output and (b) error files. |
| DiskCheck script diskcheck.pl in Red Hat Linux 6.2 allows local users to create or overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on a temporary file. |
| Avira Internet Security contains an improper link resolution vulnerability in the Software Updater component. During the update process, a privileged service running as SYSTEM deletes a file under C:\\ProgramData without validating whether the path resolves through a symbolic link or reparse point. A local attacker can create a malicious link to redirect the delete operation to an arbitrary file, resulting in deletion of attacker-chosen files with SYSTEM privileges. This may lead to local privilege escalation, denial of service, or system integrity compromise depending on the targeted file and operating system configuration. |
| This issue was addressed with improved handling of symlinks. This issue is fixed in macOS Tahoe 26.3. An app may be able to gain root privileges. |
| Improper link resolution before file access ('link following') in Windows App for Mac allows an authorized attacker to elevate privileges locally. |
| immich is a high performance self-hosted photo and video management solution. Prior to version 2.6.0, the Immich application is vulnerable to credential disclosure when a user authenticates to a shared album. During the authentication process, the application transmits the album password within the URL query parameters in a GET request to /api/shared-links/me. This exposes the password in browser history, proxy and server logs, and referrer headers, allowing unintended disclosure of authentication credentials. The impact of this vulnerability is the potential compromise of shared album access and unauthorized exposure of sensitive user data. This issue has been patched in version 2.6.0. |
| Plane is an an open-source project management tool. Prior to 1.3.0, a vulnerability was identified in Plane's authentication flow where a user's email address is included as a query parameter in the URL during error handling (e.g., when an invalid magic code is submitted). Transmitting personally identifiable information (PII) via GET request query strings is classified as an insecure design practice. The affected code path is located in the authentication utility module (packages/utils/src/auth.ts). This vulnerability is fixed in 1.3.0. |
| Use of GET Request Method With Sensitive Query Strings vulnerability in Apache OpenMeetings.
The REST login endpoint uses HTTP GET method with username and password passed as query parameters. Please check references regarding possible impact
This issue affects Apache OpenMeetings: from 3.1.3 before 9.0.0.
Users are recommended to upgrade to version 9.0.0, which fixes the issue. |
| Link Following Local Privilege Escalation Vulnerability in TuneupSvc.exe in AVG TuneUp 24.2.16593.9844 on Windows allows local attackers to escalate privileges and execute arbitrary code in the context of SYSTEM via creating a symbolic link and leveraging the service to delete a directory |
| A low privileged remote attacker with file access can replace a critical file used by the watchdog to get read, write and execute access to any file on the device after the watchdog has been initialized. |
