CVE-2025-0913 2 Golang, Microsoft 2 Go, Windows 2025-08-08 N/A 5.5 MEDIUM
os.OpenFile(path, os.O_CREATE|O_EXCL) behaved differently on Unix and Windows systems when the target path was a dangling symlink. On Unix systems, OpenFile with O_CREATE and O_EXCL flags never follows symlinks. On Windows, when the target path was a symlink to a nonexistent location, OpenFile would create a file in that location. OpenFile now always returns an error when the O_CREATE and O_EXCL flags are both set and the target path is a symlink.
CVE-2023-32179 1 Vipre 1 Antivirus 2025-08-08 N/A 7.8 HIGH
VIPRE Antivirus Plus FPQuarTransfer Link Following Local Privilege Escalation Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows local attackers to escalate privileges on affected installations of VIPRE Antivirus Plus. An attacker must first obtain the ability to execute low-privileged code on the target system in order to exploit this vulnerability. The specific flaw exists within the FPQuarTransfer method. By creating a symbolic link, an attacker can abuse the method to delete arbitrary files. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to escalate privileges and execute arbitrary code in the context of SYSTEM. . Was ZDI-CAN-19397.

VIPRE Antivirus Plus TelFileTransfer Link Following Local Privilege Escalation Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows local attackers to escalate privileges on affected installations of VIPRE Antivirus Plus. An attacker must first obtain the ability to execute low-privileged code on the target system in order to exploit this vulnerability. The specific flaw exists within the TelFileTransfer method. By creating a symbolic link, an attacker can abuse the method to delete arbitrary files. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to escalate privileges and execute arbitrary code in the context of SYSTEM. . Was ZDI-CAN-19396.
CVE-2023-32175 1 Vipre 1 Antivirus 2025-08-08 N/A 7.8 HIGH
VIPRE Antivirus Plus Link Following Local Privilege Escalation Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows local attackers to escalate privileges on affected installations of VIPRE Antivirus Plus. An attacker must first obtain the ability to execute low-privileged code on the target system in order to exploit this vulnerability. The specific flaw exists within the Anti Malware Service. By creating a symbolic link, an attacker can abuse the service to create arbitrary files. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to escalate privileges and execute arbitrary code in the context of SYSTEM. Was ZDI-CAN-18899.
CVE-2025-54798 2025-08-07 N/A 2.5 LOW
tmp is a temporary file and directory creator for node.js. In versions 0.2.3 and below, tmp is vulnerable to an arbitrary temporary file / directory write via symbolic link dir parameter. This is fixed in version 0.2.4.
CVE-2011-4116 1 Cpan 1 File\ 2025-08-04 1.5 LOW 3.3 LOW
_is_safe in the File::Temp module for Perl does not properly handle symlinks.
CVE-2021-1491 1 Cisco 1 Catalyst Sd-wan Manager 2025-08-04 N/A 6.5 MEDIUM
A vulnerability in the web-based management interface of Cisco SD-WAN vManage Software could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to read arbitrary files on the underlying file system of the device. This vulnerability is due to insufficient file scope limiting. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by creating a specific file reference on the file system and then accessing it through the web-based management interface. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to read arbitrary files from the file system of the underlying operating system.Cisco has released software updates that address this vulnerability. There are no workarounds that address this vulnerability.
CVE-2025-0146 1 Zoom 5 Meeting Software Development Kit, Rooms, Rooms Controller and 2 more 2025-08-01 N/A 3.9 LOW
Symlink following in the installer for Zoom Workplace App for macOS before 6.2.10 may allow an authenticated user to conduct a denial of service via local access.
CVE-2025-43252 1 Apple 1 Macos 2025-07-31 N/A 6.5 MEDIUM
This issue was addressed by adding an additional prompt for user consent. This issue is fixed in macOS Sequoia 15.6. A website may be able to access sensitive user data when resolving symlinks.
CVE-2025-43220 1 Apple 2 Ipados, Macos 2025-07-31 N/A 9.8 CRITICAL
This issue was addressed with improved validation of symlinks. This issue is fixed in iPadOS 17.7.9, macOS Sequoia 15.6, macOS Sonoma 14.7.7, macOS Ventura 13.7.7. An app may be able to access protected user data.
CVE-2025-36611 2025-07-31 N/A 7.3 HIGH
Dell Encryption and Dell Security Management Server, versions prior to 11.11.0, contain an Improper Link Resolution Before File Access ('Link Following') Vulnerability. A local malicious user could potentially exploit this vulnerability, leading to privilege escalation.
CVE-2023-20004 1 Cisco 2 Roomos, Telepresence Collaboration Endpoint 2025-07-30 N/A 4.4 MEDIUM
Three vulnerabilities in the CLI of Cisco TelePresence CE and RoomOS could allow an authenticated, local attacker to overwrite arbitrary files on the local file system of an affected device. These vulnerabilities are due to improper access controls on files that are on the local file system. An attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities by placing a symbolic link in a specific location on the local file system of an affected device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to overwrite arbitrary files on the affected device. To exploit these vulnerabilities, an attacker would need to have a remote support user account. Note: CVE-2023-20092 does not affect Cisco DX70, DX80, TelePresence MX Series, or TelePresence SX Series devices. Cisco has released software updates that address these vulnerabilities. There are no workarounds that address these vulnerabilities.
