CVE-2025-41668 2025-07-08 N/A 8.8 HIGH
A low privileged remote attacker with file access can replace a critical file or folder used by the service security-profile to get read, write and execute access to any file on the device.
CVE-2025-53109 2025-07-03 N/A N/A
Model Context Protocol Servers is a collection of reference implementations for the model context protocol (MCP). Versions of Filesystem prior to 0.6.4 or 2025.7.01 could allow access to unintended files via symlinks within allowed directories. Users are advised to upgrade to 0.6.4 or 2025.7.01 resolve.
CVE-2024-36486 1 Parallels 1 Parallels Desktop 2025-07-02 N/A 7.8 HIGH
A privilege escalation vulnerability exists in the virtual machine archive restoration functionality of Parallels Desktop for Mac version 20.1.1 (55740). When an archived virtual machine is restored, the prl_vmarchiver tool decompresses the file and writes the content back to its original location using root privileges. An attacker can exploit this process by using a hard link to write to an arbitrary file, potentially resulting in privilege escalation.
CVE-2024-52561 1 Parallels 1 Parallels Desktop 2025-07-02 N/A 7.8 HIGH
A privilege escalation vulnerability exists in the Snapshot functionality of Parallels Desktop for Mac version 20.1.1 (build 55740). When a snapshot of a virtual machine is deleted, a root service verifies and modifies the ownership of the snapshot files. By using a symlink, an attacker can change the ownership of files owned by root to a lower-privilege user, potentially leading to privilege escalation.
CVE-2024-54189 1 Parallels 1 Parallels Desktop 2025-07-02 N/A 7.8 HIGH
A privilege escalation vulnerability exists in the Snapshot functionality of Parallels Desktop for Mac version 20.1.1 (build 55740). When a snapshot of a virtual machine is taken, a root service writes to a file owned by a normal user. By using a hard link, an attacker can write to an arbitrary file, potentially leading to privilege escalation.
CVE-2025-25008 1 Microsoft 5 Windows Server 2016, Windows Server 2019, Windows Server 2022 and 2 more 2025-07-01 N/A 7.1 HIGH
Improper link resolution before file access ('link following') in Microsoft Windows allows an authorized attacker to elevate privileges locally.
CVE-2025-3771 2025-06-26 N/A N/A
A path or symbolic link manipulation vulnerability in SIR 1.0.3 and prior versions allows an authenticated non-admin local user to overwrite system files with SIR backup files, which can potentially cause a system crash. This was achieved by adding a malicious entry to the registry under the Trellix SIR registry folder or via policy or with a junction symbolic link to files that the user would not normally have permission to acces
CVE-2020-3432 1 Cisco 1 Anyconnect Secure Mobility Client 2025-06-24 N/A 5.6 MEDIUM
A vulnerability in the uninstaller component of Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client for Mac OS could allow an authenticated, local attacker to corrupt the content of any file in the filesystem. The vulnerability is due to the incorrect handling of directory paths. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by creating a symbolic link (symlink) to a target file on a specific path. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to corrupt the contents of the file. If the file is a critical systems file, the exploit could lead to a denial of service condition. To exploit this vulnerability, the attacker would need to have valid credentials on the system.Cisco has released software updates that address this vulnerability. There are no workarounds that address this vulnerability.
CVE-2023-52094 1 Trendmicro 1 Apex One 2025-06-20 N/A 7.8 HIGH
An updater link following vulnerability in the Trend Micro Apex One agent could allow a local attacker to abuse the updater to delete an arbitrary folder, leading for a local privilege escalation on affected installations. Please note: an attacker must first obtain the ability to execute low-privileged code on the target system in order to exploit this vulnerability.
CVE-2023-52092 1 Trendmicro 1 Apex One 2025-06-20 N/A 7.8 HIGH
A security agent link following vulnerability in Trend Micro Apex One could allow a local attacker to escalate privileges on affected installations. Please note: an attacker must first obtain the ability to execute low-privileged code on the target system in order to exploit this vulnerability.
CVE-2023-52091 1 Trendmicro 1 Apex One 2025-06-20 N/A 7.8 HIGH
An anti-spyware engine link following vulnerability in Trend Micro Apex One could allow a local attacker to escalate privileges on affected installations. Please note: an attacker must first obtain the ability to execute low-privileged code on the target system in order to exploit this vulnerability.
CVE-2023-52090 1 Trendmicro 1 Apex One 2025-06-20 N/A 7.8 HIGH
A security agent link following vulnerability in Trend Micro Apex One could allow a local attacker to escalate privileges on affected installations. Please note: an attacker must first obtain the ability to execute low-privileged code on the target system in order to exploit this vulnerability.
CVE-2023-47192 1 Trendmicro 1 Apex One 2025-06-17 N/A 7.8 HIGH
An agent link vulnerability in the Trend Micro Apex One security agent could allow a local attacker to escalate privileges on affected installations. Please note: an attacker must first obtain the ability to execute low-privileged code on the target system in order to exploit this vulnerability.
CVE-2025-3908 2 Linux, Openvpn 2 Linux Kernel, Openvpn3linux 2025-06-12 N/A 6.2 MEDIUM
The configuration initialization tool in OpenVPN 3 Linux v20 through v24 on Linux allows a local attacker to use symlinks pointing at an arbitrary directory which will change the ownership and permissions of that destination directory.
CVE-2018-6954 3 Canonical, Opensuse, Systemd Project 3 Ubuntu Linux, Leap, Systemd 2025-06-09 7.2 HIGH 7.8 HIGH
systemd-tmpfiles in systemd through 237 mishandles symlinks present in non-terminal path components, which allows local users to obtain ownership of arbitrary files via vectors involving creation of a directory and a file under that directory, and later replacing that directory with a symlink. This occurs even if the fs.protected_symlinks sysctl is turned on.
CVE-2013-4392 1 Systemd Project 1 Systemd 2025-06-09 3.3 LOW 5.0 MEDIUM
systemd, when updating file permissions, allows local users to change the permissions and SELinux security contexts for arbitrary files via a symlink attack on unspecified files.
CVE-2010-4226 2 Gnu, Opensuse 2 Cpio, Opensuse 2025-06-09 5.0 MEDIUM 7.2 HIGH
cpio, as used in build 2007.05.10, 2010.07.28, and possibly other versions, allows remote attackers to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink within an RPM package archive.
CVE-2024-31952 2 Apple, Samsung 2 Macos, Magician 2025-06-03 N/A 6.7 MEDIUM
An issue was discovered in Samsung Magician 8.0.0 on macOS. Because symlinks are used during the installation process, an attacker can escalate privileges via arbitrary file permission writes. (The attacker must already have user privileges, and an administrator password must be entered during the program installation stage for privilege escalation.)
CVE-2024-11857 2025-06-02 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-2025-31198 1 Apple 1 Macos 2025-06-02 N/A 5.5 MEDIUM
This issue was addressed with improved validation of symlinks. This issue is fixed in macOS Ventura 13.7.5, macOS Sequoia 15.4, macOS Sonoma 14.7.5. A path handling issue was addressed with improved validation.
