CVE-2026-72694

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...

GHSA-3PVJ-JV98-QHJQ Chrome DevTools for agents: daemon.pid write follows symlinks in /tmp fallback runtime directory

Summary The chrome-devtools-mcp daemon writes its PID file with fs.writeFileSync to a deterministic runtime path. On typical macOS environments, and on Linux sessions where $XDGRUNTIMEDIR is unset, that runtime path falls back to /tmp/chrome-devtools-mcp-/daemon.pid. Because the write does not us...
