CVE-2025-4211 2025-05-16 N/A N/A
Improper Link Resolution Before File Access ('Link Following') vulnerability in QFileSystemEngine in the Qt corelib module on Windows which potentially allows Symlink Attacks and the use of Malicious Files. Issue originates from CVE-2024-38081. The vulnerability arises from the use of the GetTempPath API, which can be exploited by attackers to manipulate temporary file paths, potentially leading to unauthorized access and privilege escalation. The affected public API in the Qt Framework is QDir::tempPath() and anything that uses it, such as QStandardPaths with TempLocation, QTemporaryDir, and QTemporaryFile.This issue affects all version of Qt up to and including 5.15.18, from 6.0.0 through 6.5.8, from 6.6.0 through 6.8.1. It is fixed in Qt 5.15.19, Qt 6.5.9, Qt 6.8.2, 6.9.0
CVE-2025-1683 2025-05-15 N/A 7.8 HIGH
Improper link resolution before file access in the Nomad module of the 1E Client, in versions prior to 25.3, enables an attacker with local unprivileged access on a Windows system to delete arbitrary files on the device by exploiting symbolic links.
CVE-2025-22247 2025-05-14 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-2024-8404 1 Papercut 2 Papercut Mf, Papercut Ng 2025-05-13 N/A 7.8 HIGH
An arbitrary file deletion vulnerability exists in PaperCut NG/MF, specifically affecting Windows servers with Web Print enabled. To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker must first obtain local login access to the Windows Server hosting PaperCut NG/MF and be capable of executing low-privilege code directly on the server via the web-print-hot-folder. Important: In most installations, this risk is mitigated by the default Windows Server configuration, which restricts local login access to Administrators only. However, this vulnerability could pose a risk to customers who allow non-administrative users to log into the local console of the Windows environment hosting the PaperCut NG/MF application server. Update: This CVE has been updated in May 2025 to update the fixed version and fix process. Please refer to the May 2025 Security Bulletin. Note: This CVE has been split from CVE-2024-3037.

CVE-2024-13960 2025-05-12 N/A 7.8 HIGH
Link Following Local Privilege Escalation Vulnerability in TuneUp Service in AVG TuneUp Version 23.4 (build 15592) on Windows 10 allows local attackers to escalate privileges and execute arbitrary code in the context of SYSTEM via creating a symbolic link and leveraging a TOCTTOU (time-of-check to time-of-use) attack.
CVE-2024-9524 2025-05-12 N/A 7.8 HIGH
Link Following Local Privilege Escalation Vulnerability in System Speedup Service in Avira Operations GmbH Avira Prime Version 1.1.96.2 on Windows 10 x64 allows local attackers to escalate privileges and execute arbitrary code in the context of SYSTEM via creating a symbolic link and leveraging a TOCTTOU (time-of-check to time-of-use) attack.
CVE-2024-13959 2025-05-12 N/A 7.8 HIGH
Link Following Local Privilege Escalation Vulnerability in TuneupSvc.exe in AVG TuneUp 24.2.16593.9844 on Windows allows local attackers to escalate privileges and execute arbitrary code in the context of SYSTEM via creating a symbolic link and leveraging the service to delete a directory
CVE-2024-13962 2025-05-12 N/A 7.8 HIGH
Link Following Local Privilege Escalation Vulnerability in TuneupSvc in Gen Digital Inc. Avast Cleanup Premium Version 24.2.16593.17810 on Windows 10 Pro x64 allows local attackers to escalate privileges and execute arbitrary code in the context of SYSTEM via creating a symbolic link and leveraging a TOCTTOU (time-of-check to time-of-use) attack.
CVE-2024-13961 2025-05-12 N/A 7.8 HIGH
Link Following Local Privilege Escalation Vulnerability in TuneupSvc in Avast Cleanup Premium Version 24.2.16593.17810 on Windows 10 Pro x64 allows local attackers to escalate privileges and execute arbitrary code in the context of SYSTEM via creating a symbolic link and leveraging a TOCTTOU (time-of-check to time-of-use) attack.
CVE-2025-3224 1 Docker 1 Desktop 2025-05-10 N/A 7.8 HIGH
A vulnerability in the update process of Docker Desktop for Windows versions prior to 4.41.0 could allow a local, low-privileged attacker to escalate privileges to SYSTEM. During an update, Docker Desktop attempts to delete files and subdirectories under the path C:\ProgramData\Docker\config with high privileges. However, this directory often does not exist by default, and C:\ProgramData\ allows normal users to create new directories. By creating a malicious Docker\config folder structure at this location, an attacker can force the privileged update process to delete or manipulate arbitrary system files, leading to Elevation of Privilege.
CVE-2022-32905 1 Apple 1 Macos 2025-05-06 N/A 7.8 HIGH
This issue was addressed with improved validation of symlinks. This issue is fixed in macOS Ventura 13. Processing a maliciously crafted DMG file may lead to arbitrary code execution with system privileges.
CVE-2023-2939 2 Google, Microsoft 2 Chrome, Windows 2025-05-05 N/A 7.8 HIGH
Insufficient data validation in Installer in Google Chrome on Windows prior to 114.0.5735.90 allowed a local attacker to perform privilege escalation via crafted symbolic link. (Chromium security severity: Medium)
CVE-2019-13689 1 Google 2 Chrome, Chrome Os 2025-05-02 N/A 7.8 HIGH
Inappropriate implementation in OS in Google Chrome on ChromeOS prior to 75.0.3770.80 allowed a remote attacker to perform arbitrary read/write via a malicious file. (Chromium security severity: Critical)
