CVE-2009-1526 1 Jbmc-software 1 Directadmin 2025-12-12 6.9 MEDIUM N/A
JBMC Software DirectAdmin before 1.334 allows local users to create or overwrite any file via a symlink attack on an arbitrary file in a certain temporary directory, related to a request for this temporary file in the PATH_INFO to the CMD_DB script during a backup action.
CVE-2025-11489 1 Wonderwhy-er 1 Desktopcommandermcp 2025-12-12 3.5 LOW 4.5 MEDIUM
A security vulnerability has been detected in wonderwhy-er DesktopCommanderMCP up to 0.2.13. This vulnerability affects the function isPathAllowed of the file src/tools/filesystem.ts. The manipulation leads to symlink following. The attack can only be performed from a local environment. The attack's complexity is rated as high. It is stated that the exploitability is difficult. The exploit has been disclosed publicly and may be used. The vendor explains: "Our restriction features are designed as guardrails for LLMs to help them stay closer to what users want, rather than hardened security boundaries. (...) For users where security is a top priority, we continue to recommend using Desktop Commander with Docker, which provides actual isolation. (...) We'll keep this issue open for future consideration if we receive more user demand for improved restrictions." This vulnerability only affects products that are no longer supported by the maintainer.
CVE-2025-7073 2025-12-12 N/A N/A
A local privilege escalation vulnerability in Bitdefender Total Security 27.0.46.231 allows low-privileged attackers to elevate privileges. The issue arises from bdservicehost.exe deleting files from a user-writable directory (C:\ProgramData\Atc\Feedback) without proper symbolic link validation, enabling arbitrary file deletion. This issue is chained with a file copy operation during network events and a filter driver bypass via DLL injection to achieve arbitrary file copy and code execution as elevated user.
CVE-2025-8959 1 Hashicorp 1 Go-getter 2025-12-11 N/A 7.5 HIGH
HashiCorp's go-getter library subdirectory download feature is vulnerable to symlink attacks leading to unauthorized read access beyond the designated directory boundaries. This vulnerability, identified as CVE-2025-8959, is fixed in go-getter 1.7.9.
CVE-2025-67487 1 Static-web-server 1 Static Web Server 2025-12-11 N/A 8.6 HIGH
Static Web Server (SWS) is a production-ready web server suitable for static web files or assets. Versions 2.40.0 and below contain symbolic links (symlinks) which can be used to access files or directories outside the intended web root folder. SWS generally does not prevent symlinks from escaping the web server’s root directory. Therefore, if a malicious actor gains access to the web server’s root directory, they could create symlinks to access other files outside the designated web root folder either by URL or via the directory listing. This issue is fixed in version 2.40.1.
CVE-2024-50404 1 Qnap 1 Qsync Central 2025-12-10 N/A 8.8 HIGH
A link following vulnerability has been reported to affect Qsync Central. If exploited, the vulnerability could allow remote attackers who have gained user access to traverse the file system to unintended locations. We have already fixed the vulnerability in the following versions: Qsync Central 4.4.0.16_20240819 ( 2024/08/19 ) and later
CVE-2025-46637 1 Dell 1 Encryption 2025-12-10 N/A 7.3 HIGH
Dell Encryption, versions prior to 11.12.1, contain an Improper Link Resolution Before File Access ('Link Following') vulnerability. A local malicious user could potentially exploit this vulnerability, leading to Elevation of privileges.
CVE-2025-46636 1 Dell 1 Encryption 2025-12-10 N/A 6.6 MEDIUM
Dell Encryption, versions prior to 11.12.1, contain an Improper Link Resolution Before File Access ('Link Following') vulnerability. A low privileged attacker with local access could potentially exploit this vulnerability, leading to Information tampering.
CVE-2024-48862 1 Qnap 1 Qulog Center 2025-12-08 N/A 9.8 CRITICAL
A link following vulnerability has been reported to affect QuLog Center. If exploited, the vulnerability could allow remote attackers to traverse the file system to unintended locations and read or overwrite the contents of unexpected files. We have already fixed the vulnerability in the following versions: QuLog Center 1.7.0.831 ( 2024/10/15 ) and later QuLog Center 1.8.0.888 ( 2024/10/15 ) and later
CVE-2025-11578 1 Github 1 Enterprise Server 2025-12-08 N/A 7.2 HIGH
A privilege escalation vulnerability was identified in GitHub Enterprise Server that allowed an authenticated Enterprise admin to gain root SSH access to the appliance by exploiting a symlink escape in pre-receive hook environments. By crafting a malicious repository and environment, an attacker could replace system binaries during hook cleanup and execute a payload that adds their own SSH key to the root user’s authorized keys—thereby granting themselves root SSH access to the server. To exploit this vulnerability, the attacker needed to have enterprise admin privileges. This vulnerability affected all versions of GitHub Enterprise Server prior to 3.19, and was fixed in versions 3.14.20, 3.15.15, 3.16.11, 3.17.8, 3.18.2. This vulnerability was reported via the GitHub Bug Bounty program.
CVE-2025-34352 2025-12-04 N/A N/A
JumpCloud Remote Assist for Windows versions prior to 0.317.0 include an uninstaller that is invoked by the JumpCloud Windows Agent as NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM during agent uninstall or update operations. The Remote Assist uninstaller performs privileged create, write, execute, and delete actions on predictable files inside a user-writable %TEMP% subdirectory without validating that the directory is trusted or resetting its ACLs when it already exists. A local, low-privileged attacker can pre-create the directory with weak permissions and leverage mount-point or symbolic-link redirection to (a) coerce arbitrary file writes to protected locations, leading to denial of service (e.g., by overwriting sensitive system files), or (b) win a race to redirect DeleteFileW() to attacker-chosen targets, enabling arbitrary file or folder deletion and local privilege escalation to SYSTEM. This issue is fixed in JumpCloud Remote Assist 0.317.0 and affects Windows systems where Remote Assist is installed and managed through the Agent lifecycle.
CVE-2025-65843 2025-12-04 N/A 7.7 HIGH
Aquarius Desktop 3.0.069 for macOS contains an insecure file handling vulnerability in its support data archive generation feature. The application follows symbolic links placed inside the ~/Library/Logs/Aquarius directory and treats them as regular files. When building the support ZIP, Aquarius recursively enumerates logs using a JUCE directory iterator configured to follow symlinks, and later writes file data without validating whether the target is a symbolic link. A local attacker can exploit this behavior by planting symlinks to arbitrary filesystem locations, resulting in unauthorized disclosure or modification of arbitrary files. When chained with the associated HelperTool privilege escalation issue, root-owned files may also be exposed.
CVE-2020-15861 3 Canonical, Net-snmp, Netapp 5 Ubuntu Linux, Net-snmp, Cloud Backup and 2 more 2025-12-03 7.2 HIGH 7.8 HIGH
Net-SNMP through 5.7.3 allows Escalation of Privileges because of UNIX symbolic link (symlink) following.
CVE-2021-20197 4 Broadcom, Gnu, Netapp and 1 more 6 Brocade Fabric Operating System Firmware, Binutils, Cloud Backup and 3 more 2025-12-03 3.3 LOW 6.3 MEDIUM
There is an open race window when writing output in the following utilities in GNU binutils version 2.35 and earlier:ar, objcopy, strip, ranlib. When these utilities are run as a privileged user (presumably as part of a script updating binaries across different users), an unprivileged user can trick these utilities into getting ownership of arbitrary files through a symlink.
CVE-2025-64437 1 Kubevirt 1 Kubevirt 2025-11-25 N/A 5.0 MEDIUM
KubeVirt is a virtual machine management add-on for Kubernetes. In versions before 1.5.3 and 1.6.1, the virt-handler does not verify whether the launcher-sock is a symlink or a regular file. This oversight can be exploited, for example, to change the ownership of arbitrary files on the host node to the unprivileged user with UID 107 (the same user used by virt-launcher) thus, compromising the CIA (Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability) of data on the host. To successfully exploit this vulnerability, an attacker should be in control of the file system of the virt-launcher pod. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.5.3 and 1.6.1.
CVE-2025-5718 1 Axis 233 A1210 \(-b\), A1214, A1601 and 230 more 2025-11-24 N/A 6.8 MEDIUM
The ACAP Application framework could allow privilege escalation through a symlink attack. This vulnerability can only be exploited if the Axis device is configured to allow the installation of unsigned ACAP applications, and if an attacker convinces the victim to install a malicious ACAP application.
CVE-2025-22247 2025-11-18 N/A 6.1 MEDIUM
VMware Tools contains an insecure file handling vulnerability. A malicious actor with non-administrative privileges on a guest VM may tamper the local files to trigger insecure file operations within that VM.
CVE-2025-59510 1 Microsoft 13 Windows 10 1607, Windows 10 1809, Windows 10 21h2 and 10 more 2025-11-17 N/A 5.5 MEDIUM
Improper link resolution before file access ('link following') in Windows Routing and Remote Access Service (RRAS) allows an authorized attacker to deny service locally.
CVE-2025-60710 1 Microsoft 1 Windows 11 25h2 2025-11-17 N/A 7.8 HIGH
Improper link resolution before file access ('link following') in Host Process for Windows Tasks allows an authorized attacker to elevate privileges locally.
