CVE-2025-52837 1 Trendmicro 1 Password Manager 2025-10-03 7.8 High
Trend Micro Password Manager (Consumer) version 5.8.0.1327 and below is vulnerable to a Link Following Privilege Escalation Vulnerability that could allow an attacker the opportunity to abuse symbolic links and other methods to delete any file/folder and achieve privilege escalation.
CVE-2025-41421 2 Microsoft, Teamviewer 6 Windows, Full Client, Host and 3 more 2025-10-02 4.7 Medium
Improper handling of symbolic links in the TeamViewer Full Client and Host for Windows — in versions prior to 15.70 of TeamViewer Remote and Tensor — allows an attacker with local, unprivileged access to a device lacking adequate malware protection to escalate privileges by spoofing the update file path. This may result in unauthorized access to sensitive information.
CVE-2024-35235 3 Debian, Openprinting, Redhat 7 Debian Linux, Cups, Enterprise Linux and 4 more 2025-09-26 4.4 Medium
OpenPrinting CUPS is an open source printing system for Linux and other Unix-like operating systems. In versions 2.4.8 and earlier, when starting the cupsd server with a Listen configuration item pointing to a symbolic link, the cupsd process can be caused to perform an arbitrary chmod of the provided argument, providing world-writable access to the target. Given that cupsd is often running as root, this can result in the change of permission of any user or system files to be world writable. Given the aforementioned Ubuntu AppArmor context, on such systems this vulnerability is limited to those files modifiable by the cupsd process. In that specific case it was found to be possible to turn the configuration of the Listen argument into full control over the cupsd.conf and cups-files.conf configuration files. By later setting the User and Group arguments in cups-files.conf, and printing with a printer configured by PPD with a `FoomaticRIPCommandLine` argument, arbitrary user and group (not root) command execution could be achieved, which can further be used on Ubuntu systems to achieve full root command execution. Commit ff1f8a623e090dee8a8aadf12a6a4b25efac143d contains a patch for the issue.
CVE-2025-48799 1 Microsoft 8 Windows 10 1607, Windows 10 1809, Windows 10 21h2 and 5 more 2025-09-26 7.8 High
Improper link resolution before file access ('link following') in Windows Update Service allows an authorized attacker to elevate privileges locally.
CVE-2025-22480 1 Dell 1 Supportassist Os Recovery 2025-09-24 7 High
Dell SupportAssist OS Recovery versions prior to 5.5.13.1 contain a symbolic link attack vulnerability. A low-privileged attacker with local access could potentially exploit this vulnerability, leading to arbitrary file deletion and Elevation of Privileges.
CVE-2024-53691 1 Qnap 2 Qts, Quts Hero 2025-09-23 8.8 High
A link following vulnerability has been reported to affect several QNAP operating system versions. If exploited, the vulnerability could allow remote attackers who have gained user access to traverse the file system to unintended locations. We have already fixed the vulnerability in the following versions: QTS 5.1.8.2823 build 20240712 and later QTS 5.2.0.2802 build 20240620 and later QuTS hero h5.1.8.2823 build 20240712 and later QuTS hero h5.2.0.2802 build 20240620 and later
CVE-2025-58373 1 Roocode 1 Roo Code 2025-09-15 5.5 Medium
Roo Code is an AI-powered autonomous coding agent that lives in users' editors. Versions 3.25.23 and below contain a vulnerability where .rooignore protections could be bypassed using symlinks. This allows an attacker with write access to the workspace to trick the extension into reading files that were intended to be excluded. As a result, sensitive files such as .env or configuration files could be exposed. An attacker able to modify files within the workspace could gain unauthorized access to sensitive information by bypassing .rooignore rules. This could include secrets, configuration details, or other excluded project data. This is fixed in version 3.26.0.
CVE-2025-43490 1 Hp 2 Hotkey Support Software, Hp 2025-09-11 N/A
