CVE-2019-25677 1 Rarlab 1 Winrar 2026-07-24 N/A 6.2 MEDIUM
WinRAR 5.61 contains a denial of service vulnerability that allows local attackers to crash the application by placing a malformed winrar.lng language file in the installation directory. Attackers can trigger the crash by opening an archive and pressing the test button, causing an access violation at memory address 004F1DB8 when the application attempts to read invalid data.
CVE-2026-46388 2026-07-10 N/A 4.4 MEDIUM
osquery is a SQL powered operating system instrumentation, monitoring, and analytics framework. Prior to 5.23.1, an unprivileged attacker can read the contents of an osquery file carve until the carve completes and the temporary files are deleted because in-progress carve directories are not created with private permissions. If the carve targets a directory that the attacker controls, arbitrary file reads are possible, such as sensitive local files. This issue is fixed in version 5.23.1.
CVE-2026-2817 2026-06-17 N/A 4.4 MEDIUM
Use of insecure directory in Spring Data Geode snapshot import extracts archives into predictable, permissive directories under the system temp location. On shared hosts, a local user with basic privileges can access another user’s extracted snapshot contents, leading to unintended exposure of cache data.
CVE-2025-71176 2026-06-17 N/A 6.8 MEDIUM
pytest through 9.0.2 on UNIX relies on directories with the /tmp/pytest-of-{user} name pattern, which allows local users to cause a denial of service or possibly gain privileges.
CVE-2025-32802 2026-06-17 N/A 6.1 MEDIUM
Kea configuration and API directives can be used to overwrite arbitrary files, subject to permissions granted to Kea. Many common configurations run Kea as root, leave the API entry points unsecured by default, and/or place the control sockets in insecure paths. This issue affects Kea versions 2.4.0 through 2.4.1, 2.6.0 through 2.6.2, and 2.7.0 through 2.7.8.
CVE-2025-32438 2026-06-17 N/A 8.8 HIGH
make-initrd-ng is a tool for copying binaries and their dependencies. Local privilege escalation affecting all NixOS users. With systemd.shutdownRamfs.enable enabled (the default) a local user is able to create a program that will be executed by root during shutdown. Patches exist for NixOS 24.11 and 25.05 / unstable. As a workaround, set systemd.shutdownRamfs.enable = false;.
CVE-2025-27148 2026-06-17 N/A 8.8 HIGH
Gradle is a build automation tool, and its native-platform tool provides Java bindings for native APIs. On Unix-like systems, the system temporary directory can be created with open permissions that allow multiple users to create and delete files within it. This library initialization could be vulnerable to a local privilege escalation from an attacker quickly deleting and recreating files in the system temporary directory. Gradle builds that rely on versions of net.rubygrapefruit:native-platform prior to 0.22-milestone-28 could be vulnerable to a local privilege escalation from an attacker quickly deleting and recreating files in the system temporary directory. In net.rubygrapefruit:native-platform prior to version 0.22-milestone-28, if the `Native.get(Class<>)` method was called, without calling `Native.init(File)` first, with a non-`null` argument used as working file path, then the library would initialize itself using the system temporary directory and NativeLibraryLocator.java lines 68 through 78. Version 0.22-milestone-28 has been released with changes that fix the problem. Initialization is now mandatory and no longer uses the system temporary directory, unless such a path is passed for initialization. The only workaround for affected versions is to make sure to do a proper initialization, using a location that is safe. Gradle 8.12, only that exact version, had codepaths where the initialization of the underlying native integration library took a default path, relying on copying the binaries to the system temporary directory. Any execution of Gradle exposed this exploit. Users of Windows or modern versions of macOS are not vulnerable, nor are users of a Unix-like operating system with the "sticky" bit set or `noexec` on their system temporary directory vulnerable. This problem was fixed in Gradle 8.12.1. Gradle 8.13 release also upgrades to a version of the native library that no longer has that bug. Some workarounds are available. On Unix-like operating systems, ensure that the "sticky" bit is set. This only allows the original user (or root) to delete a file. Mounting `/tmp` as `noexec` will prevent Gradle 8.12 from starting. Those who are are unable to change the permissions of the system temporary directory can move the Java temporary directory by setting the System Property java.io.tmpdir. The new path needs to limit permissions to the build user only.
CVE-2025-21173 2 Linux, Microsoft 3 Linux Kernel, .net, Visual Studio 2022 2026-06-17 N/A 7.3 HIGH
.NET Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability
CVE-2025-21162 2 Adobe, Apple 2 Photoshop Elements, Macos 2026-06-17 N/A 5.5 MEDIUM
Photoshop Elements versions 2025.0 and earlier are affected by a Creation of Temporary File in Directory with Incorrect Permissions vulnerability that could result in privilege escalation in the context of the current user. Exploitation of this issue requires user interaction in that a victim must open a malicious file.
CVE-2025-10279 1 Lfprojects 1 Mlflow 2026-06-17 N/A 7.0 HIGH
In mlflow version 2.20.3, the temporary directory used for creating Python virtual environments is assigned insecure world-writable permissions (0o777). This vulnerability allows an attacker with write access to the `/tmp` directory to exploit a race condition and overwrite `.py` files in the virtual environment, leading to arbitrary code execution. The issue is resolved in version 3.4.0.
CVE-2024-9950 2 Forescout, Microsoft 2 Secureconnector, Windows 2026-06-17 N/A 7.8 HIGH
A vulnerability in Forescout SecureConnector v11.3.07.0109 on Windows allows unauthenticated user to modify compliance scripts due to insecure temporary directory.
CVE-2024-9500 1 Autodesk 1 Installer 2026-06-17 N/A 7.8 HIGH
A maliciously crafted DLL file when placed in temporary files and folders that are leveraged by the Autodesk Installer could lead to escalation of privileges to NT AUTHORITY/SYSTEM due to insecure privilege management.
CVE-2024-7562 2026-06-17 N/A N/A
A potential elevated privilege issue has been reported with InstallShield built Standalone MSI setups having multiple InstallScript custom actions configured. All supported versions (InstallShield 2023 R2, InstallShield 2022 R2 and InstallShield 2021 R2) are affected by this issue.
CVE-2024-36821 1 Linksys 2 Velop Whw0101, Velop Whw0101 Firmware 2026-06-17 N/A 6.8 MEDIUM
Insecure permissions in Linksys Velop WiFi 5 (WHW01v1) 1.1.13.202617 allows attackers to escalate privileges from Guest to root.
CVE-2024-24693 1 Zoom 1 Rooms 2026-06-17 N/A 7.2 HIGH
Improper access control in the installer for Zoom Rooms Client for Windows before version 5.17.5 may allow an authenticated user to conduct a denial of service via local access.
CVE-2023-6080 1 Lakesidesoftware 1 Systrack Lsiagent 2026-06-17 N/A 7.8 HIGH
Lakeside Software’s SysTrack LsiAgent Installer version 10.7.8 for Windows contains a local privilege escalation vulnerability which allows attackers SYSTEM level access.
CVE-2023-49797 1 Pyinstaller 1 Pyinstaller 2026-06-17 N/A 8.8 HIGH
PyInstaller bundles a Python application and all its dependencies into a single package. A PyInstaller built application, elevated as a privileged process, may be tricked by an unprivileged attacker into deleting files the unprivileged user does not otherwise have access to. A user is affected if **all** the following are satisfied: 1. The user runs an application containing either `matplotlib` or `win32com`. 2. The application is ran as administrator (or at least a user with higher privileges than the attacker). 3. The user's temporary directory is not locked to that specific user (most likely due to `TMP`/`TEMP` environment variables pointing to an unprotected, arbitrary, non default location). Either: A. The attacker is able to very carefully time the replacement of a temporary file with a symlink. This switch must occur exactly between `shutil.rmtree()`'s builtin symlink check and the deletion itself B: The application was built with Python 3.7.x or earlier which has no protection against Directory Junctions links. The vulnerability has been addressed in PR #7827 which corresponds to `pyinstaller >= 5.13.1`. Users are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability.
CVE-2023-40438 1 Apple 3 Ipados, Iphone Os, Macos 2026-06-17 N/A 5.5 MEDIUM
An issue was addressed with improved handling of temporary files. This issue is fixed in macOS Sonoma 14, iOS 16.7 and iPadOS 16.7. An app may be able to access edited photos saved to a temporary directory.
CVE-2023-3972 1 Redhat 19 Enterprise Linux, Enterprise Linux Aus, Enterprise Linux Desktop and 16 more 2026-06-17 N/A 7.8 HIGH
A vulnerability was found in insights-client. This security issue occurs because of insecure file operations or unsafe handling of temporary files and directories that lead to local privilege escalation. Before the insights-client has been registered on the system by root, an unprivileged local user or attacker could create the /var/tmp/insights-client directory (owning the directory with read, write, and execute permissions) on the system. After the insights-client is registered by root, an attacker could then control the directory content that insights are using by putting malicious scripts into it and executing arbitrary code as root (trivially bypassing SELinux protections because insights processes are allowed to disable SELinux system-wide).
CVE-2023-3181 2 Microsoft, Splashtop 6 Windows, Mirroring360 Receiver, Mirroring360 Sender and 3 more 2026-06-17 N/A 7.8 HIGH
The C:\Program Files (x86)\Splashtop\Splashtop Software Updater\uninst.exe process creates a folder at C:\Windows\Temp~nsu.tmp and copies itself to it as Au_.exe. The C:\Windows\Temp~nsu.tmp\Au_.exe file is automatically launched as SYSTEM when the system reboots or when a standard user runs an MSI repair using Splashtop Streamer’s Windows Installer. Since the C:\Windows\Temp~nsu.tmp folder inherits permissions from C:\Windows\Temp and Au_.exe is susceptible to DLL hijacking, standard users can write a malicious DLL to it and elevate their privileges.
