Windows WalletService Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability
CVE-2021-30968 1 Apple 5 Iphone Os, Mac Os X, Macos and 2 more 2026-06-17 4.3 MEDIUM 5.5 MEDIUM
A validation issue related to hard link behavior was addressed with improved sandbox restrictions. This issue is fixed in macOS Big Sur 11.6.2, tvOS 15.2, macOS Monterey 12.1, Security Update 2021-008 Catalina, iOS 15.2 and iPadOS 15.2, watchOS 8.3. A malicious application may be able to bypass certain Privacy preferences.
CVE-2021-30855 1 Apple 6 Ipados, Iphone Os, Mac Os X and 3 more 2026-06-17 4.3 MEDIUM 5.5 MEDIUM
A validation issue existed in the handling of symlinks. This issue was addressed with improved validation of symlinks. This issue is fixed in Security Update 2021-005 Catalina, iOS 14.8 and iPadOS 14.8, iOS 15 and iPadOS 15, watchOS 8, macOS Big Sur 11.6. An application may be able to access restricted files.
CVE-2021-30463 1 Vestacp 1 Control Panel 2026-06-17 7.2 HIGH 7.8 HIGH
VestaCP through 0.9.8-24 allows attackers to gain privileges by creating symlinks to files for which they lack permissions. After reading the RKEY value from user.conf under the /usr/local/vesta/data/users/admin directory, the admin password can be changed via a /reset/?action=confirm&user=admin&code= URI. This occurs because chmod is used unsafely.
CVE-2021-30356 1 Checkpoint 1 Identity Agent 2026-06-17 5.5 MEDIUM 8.1 HIGH
A denial of service vulnerability was reported in Check Point Identity Agent before R81.018.0000, which could allow low privileged users to overwrite protected system files.
CVE-2021-28650 2 Fedoraproject, Gnome 2 Fedora, Gnome-autoar 2026-06-17 2.1 LOW 5.5 MEDIUM
autoar-extractor.c in GNOME gnome-autoar before 0.3.1, as used by GNOME Shell, Nautilus, and other software, allows Directory Traversal during extraction because it lacks a check of whether a file's parent is a symlink in certain complex situations. NOTE: this issue exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2020-36241.
CVE-2021-28321 1 Microsoft 6 Visual Studio, Visual Studio 2017, Visual Studio 2019 and 3 more 2026-06-17 4.6 MEDIUM 7.8 HIGH
Diagnostics Hub Standard Collector Service Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability
CVE-2021-28163 5 Apache, Eclipse, Fedoraproject and 2 more 23 Ignite, Solr, Jetty and 20 more 2026-06-17 4.0 MEDIUM 2.7 LOW
In Eclipse Jetty 9.4.32 to 9.4.38, 10.0.0.beta2 to 10.0.1, and 11.0.0.beta2 to 11.0.1, if a user uses a webapps directory that is a symlink, the contents of the webapps directory is deployed as a static webapp, inadvertently serving the webapps themselves and anything else that might be in that directory.
CVE-2021-28153 4 Broadcom, Debian, Fedoraproject and 1 more 4 Brocade Fabric Operating System Firmware, Debian Linux, Fedora and 1 more 2026-06-17 5.0 MEDIUM 5.3 MEDIUM
An issue was discovered in GNOME GLib before 2.66.8. When g_file_replace() is used with G_FILE_CREATE_REPLACE_DESTINATION to replace a path that is a dangling symlink, it incorrectly also creates the target of the symlink as an empty file, which could conceivably have security relevance if the symlink is attacker-controlled. (If the path is a symlink to a file that already exists, then the contents of that file correctly remain unchanged.)
CVE-2021-28098 1 Forescout 1 Counteract 2026-06-17 4.4 MEDIUM 7.8 HIGH
An issue was discovered in Forescout CounterACT before 8.1.4. A local privilege escalation vulnerability is present in the logging function. SecureConnector runs with administrative privileges and writes logs entries to a file in %PROGRAMDATA%\ForeScout SecureConnector\ that has full permissions for the Everyone group. Using a symbolic link allows an attacker to point the log file to a privileged location such as %WINDIR%\System32. The resulting log file adopts the file permissions of the source of the symbolic link (in this case, the Everyone group). The log file in System32 can be replaced and renamed with a malicious DLL for DLL hijacking.
CVE-2021-27851 1 Gnu 1 Guix 2026-06-17 2.1 LOW 5.5 MEDIUM
A security vulnerability that can lead to local privilege escalation has been found in ’guix-daemon’. It affects multi-user setups in which ’guix-daemon’ runs locally. The attack consists in having an unprivileged user spawn a build process, for instance with `guix build`, that makes its build directory world-writable. The user then creates a hardlink to a root-owned file such as /etc/shadow in that build directory. If the user passed the --keep-failed option and the build eventually fails, the daemon changes ownership of the whole build tree, including the hardlink, to the user. At that point, the user has write access to the target file. Versions after and including v0.11.0-3298-g2608e40988, and versions prior to v1.2.0-75109-g94f0312546 are vulnerable.
CVE-2021-27241 1 Avast 1 Premium Security 2026-06-17 3.6 LOW 6.1 MEDIUM
This vulnerability allows local attackers to delete arbitrary directories on affected installations of Avast Premium Security 20.8.2429 (Build 20.8.5653.561). 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 AvastSvc.exe module. By creating a directory junction, an attacker can abuse the service to delete a directory. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to create a denial-of-service condition on the system. Was ZDI-CAN-12082.
CVE-2021-27229 2 Debian, Mumble 2 Debian Linux, Mumble 2026-06-17 6.8 MEDIUM 8.8 HIGH
Mumble before 1.3.4 allows remote code execution if a victim navigates to a crafted URL on a server list and clicks on the Open Webpage text.
CVE-2021-27117 1 Beego 1 Beego 2026-06-17 7.2 HIGH 7.8 HIGH
An issue was discovered in file profile.go in function GetCPUProfile in beego through 2.0.2, allows attackers to launch symlink attacks locally.
CVE-2021-27116 1 Beego 1 Beego 2026-06-17 7.2 HIGH 7.8 HIGH
An issue was discovered in file profile.go in function MemProf in beego through 2.0.2, allows attackers to launch symlink attacks locally.
CVE-2021-26720 2 Avahi, Debian 2 Avahi, Debian Linux 2026-06-17 4.6 MEDIUM 7.8 HIGH
avahi-daemon-check-dns.sh in the Debian avahi package through 0.8-4 is executed as root via /etc/network/if-up.d/avahi-daemon, and allows a local attacker to cause a denial of service or create arbitrary empty files via a symlink attack on files under /run/avahi-daemon. NOTE: this only affects the packaging for Debian GNU/Linux (used indirectly by SUSE), not the upstream Avahi product.
CVE-2021-26089 1 Fortinet 1 Forticlient 2026-06-17 7.2 HIGH 6.7 MEDIUM
An improper symlink following in FortiClient for Mac 6.4.3 and below may allow an non-privileged user to execute arbitrary privileged shell commands during installation phase.
CVE-2021-25261 2 Microsoft, Yandex 2 Windows, Yandex Browser 2026-06-17 7.2 HIGH 7.8 HIGH
Local privilege vulnerability in Yandex Browser for Windows prior to 22.5.0.862 allows a local, low privileged, attacker to execute arbitary code with the SYSTEM privileges through manipulating symlinks to installation file during Yandex Browser update process.
CVE-2021-24084 1 Microsoft 3 Windows 10, Windows Server 2016, Windows Server 2019 2026-06-17 4.9 MEDIUM 5.5 MEDIUM
Windows Mobile Device Management Information Disclosure Vulnerability
CVE-2021-23892 1 Mcafee 1 Endpoint Security For Linux Threat Prevention 2026-06-17 6.9 MEDIUM 8.2 HIGH
By exploiting a time of check to time of use (TOCTOU) race condition during the Endpoint Security for Linux Threat Prevention and Firewall (ENSL TP/FW) installation process, a local user can perform a privilege escalation attack to obtain administrator privileges for the purpose of executing arbitrary code through insecure use of predictable temporary file locations.
