CWE-61

LiteSpeed cPanel plugin before 2.4.8 (as distributed in LiteSpeed WHM PlugIn before 5.3.2.0) mishandles symlinks provided by a user with FTP or web shell access on a shared hosting server running CloudLinux/CageFS, as exploited in the wild in May 2026.

Judge0 is an open-source online code execution system. The application uses the UNIX chown command on an untrusted file within the sandbox. An attacker can abuse this by creating a symbolic link (symlink) to a file outside the sandbox, allowing the attacker to run chown on…

Judge0 is an open-source online code execution system. The application does not account for symlinks placed inside the sandbox directory, which can be leveraged by an attacker to write to arbitrary files and gain code execution outside of the sandbox. When executing a…

Claude Code is an agentic coding tool. Prior to version 2.1.64, Claude Code's sandbox did not prevent sandboxed processes from creating symlinks pointing to locations outside the workspace. When Claude Code subsequently wrote to a path within such a symlink, its unsandboxed…

A UNIX Symbolic Link (Symlink) Following vulnerability in openSUSE Tumbleweed cyrus-imapd allows escalation from cyrus to root.This issue affects openSUSE Tumbleweed cyrus-imapd before 3.8.4-2.1.

readline.sh in socat before1.8.0.2 relies on the /tmp/$USER/stderr2 file.

Forgejo before 13.0.2 allows attackers to write to unintended files, and possibly obtain server shell access, because of mishandling of out-of-repository symlink destinations for template repositories. This is also fixed for 11 LTS in 11.0.7 and later.

Flatpak is a Linux application sandboxing and distribution framework. Prior to 1.16.4, the Flatpak portal accepts paths in the sandbox-expose options which can be app-controlled symlinks pointing at arbitrary paths. Flatpak run mounts the resolved host path in the sandbox. This…

A chmod call in the cPanel Nova plugin's Cpanel::Nova::Connector follows symlinks, allowing setting root permissions on arbitrary system files or directories. That can cause DoS or local privilege escalation when an authenticated cPanel user places a symlink at a user-controlled…

Using Codex CLI in workspace-write mode inside a malicious context (repo, directory, etc) could lead to arbitrary file overwrite and potentially remote code execution due to symlinks being followed outside the allowed current working directory.

A UNIX Symbolic Link (Symlink) Following vulnerability in the packaging of openSUSE Tumbleweed traefik2 allows the traefik user to escalate to root. This issue affects Tumbleweed: from ? before 2.11.29.

The txtai framework allows the loading of compressed tar files as embedding indices. While the validate function is intended to prevent path traversal vulnerabilities by ensuring safe filenames, it does not account for symbolic links within the tar file. An attacker is able to…

A vulnerability was found in Pagure. Support of symbolic links during repository archiving of repositories allows the disclosure of local files. This flaw allows a malicious user to take advantage of the Pagure instance.

Summary `(*Repository).UploadRepoFiles` checks for symlinks only on the **leaf** of the upload target (`osx.IsSymlink(targetPath)`). The siblings `UpdateRepoFile`, `DeleteRepoFile`, and `GetDiffPreview` use `hasSymlinkInPath`, which lstats every component — `UploadRepoFiles`…

### Summary All components based on `BaseFileComponent` are vulnerable to the following vulnerability: 1. Docling (`DoclingInlineComponent`) 2. Docling Serve (`DoclingRemoteComponent`) 3. Read File (`FileComponent`) 4. NVIDIA Retriever Extraction (`NvidiaIngestComponent`) 5.…

Nix is a package manager for Linux and other Unix systems. A bug in the fix for CVE-2024-27297 allowed for arbitrary overwrites of files writable by the Nix process orchestrating the builds (typically the Nix daemon running as root in multi-user installations) by following…

WebPros Plesk before 18.0.73.5 and 18.0.74 before 18.0.74.2 on Linux allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary code as root via domain creation. The attacker needs "Create and manage sites" with "Domains management" and "Subdomains management."

A race condition in the postgresql init script could be used by attackers able to access the postgresql account to escalate their privileges to root.

Symlink following in PostgreSQL pg_basebackup plain format and in pg_rewind allows an origin superuser to overwrite local files, e.g. /var/lib/postgres/.bashrc, that hijack the operating system account. It will remain the case that starting the server after these commands…

zrok is software for sharing web services, files, and network resources. Prior to version 2.0.2, the zrok WebDAV drive backend (davServer.Dir) restricts path traversal through lexical normalization but does not prevent symlink following. When a symbolic link inside the shared…
