CVE-2024-12753 2 Foxit, Microsoft 3 Pdf Editor, Pdf Reader, Windows 2025-08-08 7.3 High
Foxit PDF Reader Link Following Local Privilege Escalation Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows local attackers to escalate privileges on affected installations of Foxit PDF Reader. 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 product installer. By creating a junction, an attacker can abuse the installer process to create an arbitrary file. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to escalate privileges and execute arbitrary code in the context of SYSTEM. Was ZDI-CAN-25408.
CVE-2025-0913 2 Golang, Microsoft 2 Go, Windows 2025-08-08 5.5 Medium
os.OpenFile(path, os.O_CREATE|O_EXCL) behaved differently on Unix and Windows systems when the target path was a dangling symlink. On Unix systems, OpenFile with O_CREATE and O_EXCL flags never follows symlinks. On Windows, when the target path was a symlink to a nonexistent location, OpenFile would create a file in that location. OpenFile now always returns an error when the O_CREATE and O_EXCL flags are both set and the target path is a symlink.

An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to escalate privileges and execute arbitrary code in the context of SYSTEM. Was ZDI-CAN-18899.
CVE-2011-4116 1 Cpan 1 File\ 2025-08-04 3.3 Low
_is_safe in the File::Temp module for Perl does not properly handle symlinks.
CVE-2021-1491 1 Cisco 1 Catalyst Sd-wan Manager 2025-08-04 N/A
A vulnerability in the web-based management interface of Cisco SD-WAN vManage Software could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to read arbitrary files on the underlying file system of the device. This vulnerability is due to insufficient file scope limiting. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by creating a specific file reference on the file system and then accessing it through the web-based management interface. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to read arbitrary files from the file system of the underlying operating system.Cisco has released software updates that address this vulnerability. There are no workarounds that address this vulnerability.
CVE-2025-0146 1 Zoom 5 Meeting Software Development Kit, Rooms, Rooms Controller and 2 more 2025-08-01 3.9 Low
Symlink following in the installer for Zoom Workplace App for macOS before 6.2.10 may allow an authenticated user to conduct a denial of service via local access.
CVE-2023-20004 1 Cisco 2 Roomos, Telepresence Collaboration Endpoint 2025-07-30 4.4 Medium
Three vulnerabilities in the CLI of Cisco TelePresence CE and RoomOS could allow an authenticated, local attacker to overwrite arbitrary files on the local file system of an affected device. These vulnerabilities are due to improper access controls on files that are on the local file system. An attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities by placing a symbolic link in a specific location on the local file system of an affected device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to overwrite arbitrary files on the affected device. To exploit these vulnerabilities, an attacker would need to have a remote support user account. Note: CVE-2023-20092 does not affect Cisco DX70, DX80, TelePresence MX Series, or TelePresence SX Series devices. Cisco has released software updates that address these vulnerabilities. There are no workarounds that address these vulnerabilities.
CVE-2025-1079 3 Apple, Google, Linux 3 Macos, Web Designer, Linux Kernel 2025-07-29 7.8 High
Client RCE on macOS and Linux via improper symbolic link resolution in Google Web Designer's preview feature
CVE-2025-7012 2025-07-15 N/A
An issue in Cato Networks' CatoClient for Linux, before version 5.5, allows a local attacker to escalate privileges to root by exploiting improper symbolic link handling.
CVE-2024-45315 1 Sonicwall 1 Connect Tunnel 2025-07-13 5.5 Medium
The Improper link resolution before file access ('Link Following') vulnerability in SonicWall Connect Tunnel (version 12.4.3.271 and earlier of Windows client) allows users with standard privileges to create arbitrary folders and files, potentially leading to local Denial of Service (DoS) attack.
CVE-2024-23459 1 Zscaler 1 Client Connector 2025-07-13 7.1 High
An Improper Link Resolution Before File Access ('Link Following') vulnerability in Zscaler Client Connector on Mac allows a system file to be overwritten.This issue affects Zscaler Client Connector on Mac : before 3.7.

CVE-2024-52522 1 Rclone 1 Rclone 2025-07-12 6.8 Medium
Rclone is a command-line program to sync files and directories to and from different cloud storage providers. Insecure handling of symlinks with --links and --metadata in rclone while copying to local disk allows unprivileged users to indirectly modify ownership and permissions on symlink target files when a superuser or privileged process performs a copy. This vulnerability could enable privilege escalation and unauthorized access to critical system files, compromising system integrity, confidentiality, and availability. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.68.2.
CVE-2024-13961 1 Avast 1 Cleanup Premium 2025-07-12 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-2024-28185 1 Judge0 1 Judge0 2025-07-12 10 Critical
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 submission, Judge0 writes a `run_script` to the sandbox directory. The security issue is that an attacker can create a symbolic link (symlink) at the path `run_script` before this code is executed, resulting in the `f.write` writing to an arbitrary file on the unsandboxed system. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to overwrite scripts on the system and gain code execution outside of the sandbox.
CVE-2025-32817 1 Sonicwall 1 Connect Tunnel 2025-07-12 6.1 Medium
A Improper Link Resolution vulnerability (CWE-59) in the SonicWall Connect Tunnel Windows (32 and 64 bit) client, this results in unauthorized file overwrite, potentially leading to denial of service or file corruption.
CVE-2025-23010 1 Sonicwall 1 Netextender 2025-07-12 7.2 High
An Improper Link Resolution Before File Access ('Link Following') vulnerability in SonicWall NetExtender Windows (32 and 64 bit) client which allows an attacker to manipulate file paths.
