CVE-2024-1867 1 Gdata-software 1 Total Security 2026-06-17 N/A 7.8 HIGH
G DATA Total Security Link Following Local Privilege Escalation Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows local attackers to escalate privileges on affected installations of G DATA Total Security. 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 G DATA Backup Service. By creating a symbolic link, an attacker can abuse the service to delete a file. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to escalate privileges and execute arbitrary code in the context of SYSTEM. Was ZDI-CAN-22312.
CVE-2024-1753 2026-06-17 N/A 8.6 HIGH
A flaw was found in Buildah (and subsequently Podman Build) which allows containers to mount arbitrary locations on the host filesystem into build containers. A malicious Containerfile can use a dummy image with a symbolic link to the root filesystem as a mount source and cause the mount operation to mount the host root filesystem inside the RUN step. The commands inside the RUN step will then have read-write access to the host filesystem, allowing for full container escape at build time.
CVE-2024-1329 1 Hashicorp 1 Nomad 2026-06-17 N/A 7.7 HIGH
HashiCorp Nomad and Nomad Enterprise 1.5.13 up to 1.6.6, and 1.7.3 template renderer is vulnerable to arbitrary file write on the host as the Nomad client user through symlink attacks. This vulnerability, CVE-2024-1329, is fixed in Nomad 1.7.4, 1.6.7, and 1.5.14.

CVE-2024-12390 1 Binary-husky 1 Gpt Academic 2026-06-17 N/A 8.8 HIGH
A vulnerability in binary-husky/gpt_academic version git 310122f allows for remote code execution. The application supports the extraction of user-provided RAR files without proper validation. The Python rarfile module, which supports symlinks, can be exploited to perform arbitrary file writes. This can lead to remote code execution by writing to sensitive files such as SSH keys, crontab files, or the application's own code.
CVE-2024-12216 2026-06-17 N/A 7.1 HIGH
A vulnerability in the `ImageClassificationDataset.from_csv()` API of the `dmlc/gluon-cv` repository, version 0.10.0, allows for arbitrary file write. The function downloads and extracts `tar.gz` files from URLs without proper sanitization, making it susceptible to a TarSlip vulnerability. Attackers can exploit this by crafting malicious tar files that, when extracted, can overwrite files on the victim's system via path traversal or faked symlinks.
CVE-2024-11857 2026-06-17 N/A 7.8 HIGH
Bluetooth HCI Adaptor from Realtek has a Link Following vulnerability. Local attackers with regular privileges can create a symbolic link with the same name as a specific file, causing the product to delete arbitrary files pointed to by the link. Subsequently, attackers can leverage arbitrary file deletion to privilege escalation.
CVE-2024-10986 1 Binary-husky 1 Gpt Academic 2026-06-17 N/A 8.8 HIGH
GPT Academic version 3.83 is vulnerable to a Local File Read (LFI) vulnerability through its HotReload function. This function can download and extract tar.gz files from arxiv.org. Despite implementing protections against path traversal, the application overlooks the Tarslip triggered by symlinks. This oversight allows attackers to read arbitrary local files from the victim server.
CVE-2024-10007 1 Github 1 Enterprise Server 2026-06-17 N/A 9.1 CRITICAL
A path collision and arbitrary code execution vulnerability was identified in GitHub Enterprise Server that allowed container escape to escalate to root via ghe-firejail path. Exploitation of this vulnerability requires Enterprise Administrator access to the GitHub Enterprise Server instance. This vulnerability affected all versions of GitHub Enterprise prior to 3.15 and was fixed in versions 3.14.3, 3.13.6, 3.12.11, and 3.11.17. This vulnerability was reported via the GitHub Bug Bounty program.
CVE-2024-0206 2 Microsoft, Trellix 2 Windows, Anti-malware Engine 2026-06-17 N/A 7.1 HIGH
A symbolic link manipulation vulnerability in Trellix Anti-Malware Engine prior to the January 2024 release allows an authenticated local user to potentially gain an escalation of privileges. This was achieved by adding an entry to the registry under the Trellix ENS registry folder with a symbolic link to files that the user wouldn't normally have permission to. After a scan, the Engine would follow the links and remove the files
