| Improper link resolution before file access ('link following') in Windows DHCP Server allows an authorized attacker to elevate privileges locally. |
| Improper link resolution before file access ('link following') in Windows DHCP Server allows an authorized attacker to elevate privileges locally. |
| Improper link resolution before file access ('link following') in Windows User Profile Service allows an authorized attacker to elevate privileges locally. |
| An improper link following vulnerability was reported in the VantageCoreAddin for Lenovo Vantage and Lenovo Commercial Vantage that could allow a local authenticated user to perform an arbitrary file deletion with elevated privileges. |
| During an internal security assessment, a potential vulnerability was discovered in Lenovo Dock Manager that could allow an authenticated local user to perform an arbitrary file deletion with elevated privileges. |
| During an internal security assessment, an improper link following vulnerability was identified in Lenovo Vantage and Lenovo Commercial Vantage that could allow a local authenticated user to execute code with elevated privileges. |
| Network-AI is a TypeScript/Node.js multi-agent orchestrator. Prior to version 5.12.2, `EnvironmentManager.backup()` recursively collects files using `_collectBackupFiles()`. `_collectBackupFiles()` uses `statSync(full)`, which follows symlinks. If `data/<env>` contains a symlink to a directory outside the environment root, backup recursion follows the symlink and copies external files into `data/<env>/.backups/<backupId>/`. An attacker who can place a symlink under the environment data directory can cause backup operations to disclose files outside the environment root into backup artifacts. The issue is fixed in v5.12.2. `_collectBackupFiles()` now uses `lstatSync` instead of `statSync` and skips any entry where `isSymbolicLink()` is true. Symlinks are never traversed, so `backup()` can no longer follow a link out of the environment root and copy external files into a backup artifact. |
| An improper link resolution before file access vulnerability exists in the Palo Alto Networks Prisma® Access Agent on Linux platforms that enables a local low privileged user to delete system files in a limited scope and disable Prisma Access Agent.
The Prisma Access Agent on macOS, Windows, iOS, Android, and Chrome OS is not affected. |
| A link following vulnerability in LXD allows an attacker to achieve root command execution on the host system. During the import or unpacking of crafted image or backup archives, LXD fails to properly validate and confine the backup.yaml file when it exists as a symbolic link. An attacker can exploit this flaw by providing a malicious archive with a symlinked backup.yaml file, causing LXD to process unconfined configuration metadata and execute arbitrary commands with root privileges. |
| A link following vulnerability in LXD allows an attacker to achieve arbitrary file read and write operations on the host system. When importing or unpacking an image archive, LXD fails to validate whether the metadata.yaml file is a symbolic link. An attacker can exploit this flaw by providing a crafted image archive with a symlinked metadata.yaml file pointing to target file paths on the host system. |
| This CVE ID has been rejected or withdrawn by its CVE Numbering Authority. |
| When the Mira Android app opens in-app WebView content (e.g., shop redirect flows), the user's live session token is appended to the URL as a query string parameter, and a persistent user identifier is included in the WebView's User-Agent header. Both are then transmitted to third-party web properties, referrer logs, and any JavaScript running in the WebView context. |
| The affected TP-Link Aginet devices do not properly validate symbolic links created on external USB storage
devices. By placing a crafted symbolic link on supported storage media, an
attacker may cause the system to resolve the link.
Successful
exploitation may allow unauthorized read access to sensitive files within the
device filesystem. |
| Microsoft is aware of an elevation of privilege in the Microsoft Malware Protection Engine in Microsoft Defender publicly referred to as "RoguePlanet ". |
| An Improper link resolution before file access ('link following') vulnerability in the File Shredder module as used in Bitdefender Total Security and Internet Security on Windows allows a less-privileged local user to elevate rights by leveraging a race conditions via Symbolic Links.
This issue affects Total Security: before 27.0.58.315; Internet Security: before 27.0.58.315. |
| A flaw was found in MRTG. When the MRTG daemon is started as a root user and subsequently drops privileges, a local, low-privileged attacker can exploit a symbolic link (symlink) following vulnerability. By influencing or pre-placing a symlink in the process ID (PID) file path, the attacker can trick the root process into changing the ownership of an arbitrary existing file to the daemon user. This can lead to local privilege escalation, allowing unauthorized access to or modification of sensitive files. |
| A symlink following vulnerability was found in the ABRT post-create event handler scripts in libreport. Event scripts write output files using shell redirections without the O_NOFOLLOW flag. If the target file is replaced with a symlink, the shell process running as root follows the symlink and writes content to the symlink target, allowing arbitrary file overwrites on the system. |
| Improper link resolution before file access ('link following') in Microsoft OneDrive allows an authorized attacker to elevate privileges locally. |
| Improper link resolution before file access ('link following') in Windows DHCP Server allows an authorized attacker to elevate privileges locally. |
| File::Rotate::Simple versions before 0.4.0 for Perl create the target of dangling symlinks when rotating files.
When the file to be rotated is a symbolic link to a missing file, and the touch option is enabled, then the rotate method assumes that the file is absent (since the existence check is against the target), and does not rotate it. But it touches the file, which creates the target.
An attacker that has the ability to create the symlink can use this to create an arbitrary file with permissions of the process rotating the files (which may be different from the process that normally writes to the log file that is being rotated).
Note that the touch option is disabled by default. |
