CVSS v3.1 |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| Internet Explorer 5.01 and earlier allows a remote attacker to create a reference to a client window and use a server-side redirect to access local files via that window, aka "Server-side Page Reference Redirect." |
| Microsoft Excel does not warn a user when a macro is present in a Symbolic Link (SYLK) format 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. |
| BSD pppd allows local users to change the permissions of arbitrary files via a symlink attack on a file that is specified as a tty device. |
| Hard link and possibly symbolic link following vulnerabilities in QNX RTOS 4.25 (aka QNX4) allow local users to overwrite arbitrary files via (1) the -f argument to the monitor utility, (2) the -d argument to dumper, (3) the -c argument to crttrap, or (4) using the Watcom sample utility. |
| 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. |
| cvsupd.sh in CVSup 1.2 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files and gain privileges via a symlink attack on /var/tmp/cvsupd.out. |
| Pedestal Software Integrity Protection Driver (IPD) 1.3 and earlier allows privileged attackers, such as rootkits, to bypass file access restrictions to the Windows kernel by using the NtCreateSymbolicLinkObject function to create a symbolic link to (1) \Device\PhysicalMemory or (2) to a drive letter using the subst command. |
| 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. |
| Sun PC NetLink 1.0 through 1.2 does not properly set the access control list (ACL) for files and directories that use symbolic links and have been restored from backup, which could allow local or remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions. |
| Unspecified vulnerability in pprosetup in Sun PatchPro 2.0 has unknown impact and attack vectors related to "unsafe use of temporary files." |
| 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. |
| Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company Limited Mahavitran IOS Application 16.1 application till version 16.1 communicates using the GET method to process requests that contain sensitive information such as user account name and password, which can expose that information through the browser's history, referrers, web logs, and other sources. |
