CVE-2026-58203

pydantic-settings provides settings management using Pydantic. From 2.12.0 until 2.14.2, NestedSecretsSettingsSource reads secret values from files in a configured secretsdir. When secretsnestedsubdir=True, a directory entry inside secretsdir that is a symbolic link pointing outside secretsdir is...

golang: internal/syscall/unix: Root.Chmod can follow symlinks out of the root

A flaw was found in the internal/syscall/unix package in the Go standard library. If the target of the Root.Chmod function is replaced with a symbolic link during execution, specifically after Root.Chmod checks the target but before acting, the chmod operation will be performed on the file the...

CVE-2026-41991

A flaw was found in the gzexe utility of GNU gzip. When the mktemp utility is not available, gzexe creates temporary files with predictable names based on the process ID. A local attacker can exploit this by pre-creating a symbolic link to an arbitrary file at the predicted temporary file path...

CVE-2026-54370

acl before version 2.4.0 contains a time-of-check to time-of-use TOCTOU race condition vulnerability that allows local attackers to escalate privileges by replacing a pathname component with a symbolic link between an lstat check and subsequent symlink-following operations such as stat, chown,...

CVE-2026-54369

A flaw was found in the acl package, specifically within its libacl pathname-based functions. A local attacker could exploit this vulnerability by using a symbolic link to replace a pathname component. This could allow the attacker to redirect access control list ACL read or write operations to...

UBUNTU-CVE-2026-41991

GNU gzip contains a vulnerability in the gzexe utility related to insecure temporary file handling. When the mktemp utility is not available in the user’s PATH, gzexe falls back to constructing a temporary file path based solely on the process ID PID. This predictable filename is created without...

CVE-2026-41991 Predictable Temporary File in GNU gzip

GNU gzip contains a vulnerability in the gzexe utility related to insecure temporary file handling. When the mktemp utility is not available in the user’s PATH, gzexe falls back to constructing a temporary file path based solely on the process ID PID. This predictable filename is created without...

CVE-2026-41991

CVE-2026-41991 affects GNU gzip’s gzexe utility, where insecure temporary file handling creates a TOCTOU vulnerability. If mktemp is unavailable in PATH, gzexe constructs a PID-based temporary path without exclusive access or existence checks. A local attacker can pre-create the predicted path as...

CVE-2026-23879 py7zr: Arbitrary File Write Vulnerability

py7zr is a Python-based library and utility to support 7zip archive compression, decompression, encryption and decryption. Versions 1.1.2 and below contain an an arbitrary file write vulnerability, which allows symbolic links to be recreated outside the destination directory via crafted malicious...

GHSA-89MR-XQFV-758M Gogs: UploadRepoFiles writes outside repo working tree via committed parent sym

Summary Repository.UploadRepoFiles checks for symlinks only on the leaf of the upload target osx.IsSymlinktargetPath. The siblings UpdateRepoFile, DeleteRepoFile, and GetDiffPreview use hasSymlinkInPath, which lstats every component — UploadRepoFiles is the lone outlier. An attacker with repo-wri...

PT-2026-51629

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Gogs versions 0.14.0 through 0.14.2 Description An issue exists where the UploadRepoFiles function only checks for symbolic links at the leaf of the upload target using osx.IsSymlink, unlike other functions that validate every component of the...

dotnet: .NET: Local file tampering via link following vulnerability

A flaw was found in .NET's System.Formats.Tar library. When extracting a specially crafted TAR archive containing symbolic links, the TarFile.ExtractToDirectory method may incorrectly follow those links and write files outside the intended extraction directory. An attacker could exploit this issu...

UNIX Symbolic Link (Symlink) Following

Overview Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to UNIX Symbolic Link Symlink Following in the CRI checkpoint restore plugin due to improper validation of symlinked paths. An attacker can access arbitrary files on the host by crafting a malicious checkpoint image and leveraging the...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in grub2

A flaw was discovered in grub2. When reading the name of a symbolic link from a UFS filesystem, grub2 fails to validate the string length provided as input. This lack of validation may lead to a heap out-of-bounds write, causing data integrity issues and potentially allowing an attacker to...
