| CVE-2026-33711 | 1 Linuxcontainers | 1 Incus | 2026-03-30 | N/A | 7.8 HIGH |
| Incus is a system container and virtual machine manager. Incus provides an API to retrieve VM screenshots. That API relies on the use of a temporary file for QEMU to write the screenshot to which is then picked up and sent to the user prior to deletion. As versions prior to 6.23.0 use predictable paths under /tmp for this, an attacker with local access to the system can abuse this mechanism by creating their own symlinks ahead of time. On the vast majority of Linux systems, this will result in a "Permission denied" error when requesting a screenshot. That's because the Linux kernel has a security feature designed to block such attacks, `protected_symlinks`. On the rare systems with this purposefully disabled, it's then possible to trick Incus intro truncating and altering the mode and permissions of arbitrary files on the filesystem, leading to a potential denial of service or possible local privilege escalation. Version 6.23.0 fixes the issue. | |||||
| CVE-2026-25724 | 1 Anthropic | 1 Claude Code | 2026-03-27 | N/A | 7.5 HIGH |
| Claude Code is an agentic coding tool. Prior to version 2.1.7, Claude Code failed to strictly enforce deny rules configured in settings.json when accessing files through symbolic links. If a user explicitly denied Claude Code access to a file (such as /etc/passwd) and Claude Code had access to a symbolic link pointing to that file, it was possible for Claude Code to read the restricted file through the symlink without triggering deny rule enforcement. This issue has been patched in version 2.1.7. | |||||
| CVE-2026-20694 | 1 Apple | 3 Ipados, Iphone Os, Macos | 2026-03-26 | N/A | 5.5 MEDIUM |
| This issue was addressed with improved handling of symlinks. This issue is fixed in iOS 26.3 and iPadOS 26.3, macOS Sequoia 15.7.4, macOS Sequoia 15.7.5, macOS Sonoma 14.8.4, macOS Sonoma 14.8.5, macOS Tahoe 26.3, macOS Tahoe 26.4. An app may be able to access user-sensitive data. | |||||
| CVE-2026-33056 | 1 Tar Project | 1 Tar | 2026-03-24 | N/A | 6.5 MEDIUM |
| tar-rs is a tar archive reading/writing library for Rust. In versions 0.4.44 and below, when unpacking a tar archive, the tar crate's unpack_dir function uses fs::metadata() to check whether a path that already exists is a directory. Because fs::metadata() follows symbolic links, a crafted tarball containing a symlink entry followed by a directory entry with the same name causes the crate to treat the symlink target as a valid existing directory — and subsequently apply chmod to it. This allows an attacker to modify the permissions of arbitrary directories outside the extraction root. This issue has been fixed in version 0.4.45. | |||||
| CVE-2026-24018 | 1 Fortinet | 1 Forticlient | 2026-03-13 | N/A | 7.8 HIGH |
| A UNIX symbolic link (Symlink) following vulnerability in Fortinet FortiClientLinux 7.4.0 through 7.4.4, FortiClientLinux 7.2.2 through 7.2.12 may allow a local and unprivileged user to escalate their privileges to root. | |||||
| CVE-2026-27976 | 1 Zed | 1 Zed | 2026-03-05 | N/A | 8.8 HIGH |
| Zed, a code editor, has an extension installer allows tar/gzip downloads. Prior to version 0.224.4, the tar extractor (`async_tar::Archive::unpack`) creates symlinks from the archive without validation, and the path guard (`writeable_path_from_extension`) only performs lexical prefix checks without resolving symlinks. An attacker can ship a tar that first creates a symlink inside the extension workdir pointing outside (e.g., `escape -> /`), then writes files through the symlink, causing writes to arbitrary host paths. This escapes the extension sandbox and enables code execution. Version 0.224.4 patches the issue. | |||||
| CVE-2026-27485 | 1 Openclaw | 1 Openclaw | 2026-02-23 | N/A | 4.4 MEDIUM |
| OpenClaw is a personal AI assistant. In versions 2026.2.17 and below, skills/skill-creator/scripts/package_skill.py (a local helper script used when authors package skills) previously followed symlinks while building .skill archives. If an author runs this script on a crafted local skill directory containing symlinks to files outside the skill root, the resulting archive can include unintended file contents. If exploited, this vulnerability can lead to potential unintentional disclosure of local files from the packaging machine into a generated .skill artifact, but requires local execution of the packaging script on attacker-controlled skill contents. This issue has been fixed in version 2026.2.18. | |||||
| CVE-2024-39578 | 1 Dell | 1 Powerscale Onefs | 2026-02-20 | N/A | 6.3 MEDIUM |
| Dell PowerScale OneFS versions 8.2.2.x through 9.8.0.1 contains a UNIX symbolic link (symlink) following vulnerability. A local high privileged attacker could potentially exploit this vulnerability, leading to denial of service, information tampering. | |||||

| CVE-2026-23968 | 1 Copier-org | 1 Copier | 2026-02-02 | N/A | 5.5 MEDIUM |
| Copier is a library and CLI app for rendering project templates. Prior to version 9.11.2, Copier suggests that it's safe to generate a project from a safe template, i.e. one that doesn't use unsafe features like custom Jinja extensions which would require passing the `--UNSAFE,--trust` flag. As it turns out, a safe template can currently include arbitrary files/directories outside the local template clone location by using symlinks along with `_preserve_symlinks: false` (which is Copier's default setting). Version 9.11.2 patches the issue. | |||||
| CVE-2026-23986 | 1 Copier-org | 1 Copier | 2026-02-02 | N/A | 7.1 HIGH |
| Copier is a library and CLI app for rendering project templates. Prior to version 9.11.2, Copier suggests that it's safe to generate a project from a safe template, i.e. one that doesn't use unsafe features like custom Jinja extensions which would require passing the `--UNSAFE,--trust` flag. As it turns out, a safe template can currently write to arbitrary directories outside the destination path by using directory a symlink along with `_preserve_symlinks: true` and a generated directory structure whose rendered path is inside the symlinked directory. This way, a malicious template author can create a template that overwrites arbitrary files (according to the user's write permissions), e.g., to cause havoc. Version 9.11.2 patches the issue. | |||||
| CVE-2026-1386 | 1 Amazon | 1 Firecracker | 2026-01-30 | N/A | 6.0 MEDIUM |
| A UNIX symbolic link following issue in the jailer component in Firecracker version v1.13.1 and earlier and 1.14.0 on Linux may allow a local host user with write access to the pre-created jailer directories to overwrite arbitrary host files via a symlink attack during the initialization copy at jailer startup, if the jailer is executed with root privileges. To mitigate this issue, users should upgrade to version v1.13.2 or 1.14.1 or above. | |||||
| CVE-2025-14693 | 2026-01-28 | 6.5 MEDIUM | 6.2 MEDIUM | ||
| A vulnerability has been found in Ugreen DH2100+ up to 5.3.0. This affects an unknown function of the component USB Handler. Such manipulation leads to symlink following. The attack can be executed directly on the physical device. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used. It is suggested to upgrade the affected component. | |||||
| CVE-2026-24047 | 2026-01-26 | N/A | 6.3 MEDIUM | ||
| Backstage is an open framework for building developer portals, and @backstage/cli-common provides config loading functionality used by the backend and command line interface of Backstage. Prior to version 0.1.17, the `resolveSafeChildPath` utility function in `@backstage/backend-plugin-api`, which is used to prevent path traversal attacks, failed to properly validate symlink chains and dangling symlinks. An attacker could bypass the path validation via symlink chains (creating `link1 → link2 → /outside` where intermediate symlinks eventually resolve outside the allowed directory) and dangling symlinks (creating symlinks pointing to non-existent paths outside the base directory, which would later be created during file operations). This function is used by Scaffolder actions and other backend components to ensure file operations stay within designated directories. This vulnerability is fixed in `@backstage/backend-plugin-api` version 0.1.17. Users should upgrade to this version or later. Some workarounds are available. Run Backstage in a containerized environment with limited filesystem access and/or restrict template creation to trusted users. | |||||
| CVE-2025-36564 | 1 Dell | 1 Encryption | 2026-01-15 | N/A | 7.8 HIGH |
| Dell Encryption Admin Utilities versions prior to 11.10.2 contain an Improper Link Resolution vulnerability. A local malicious user could potentially exploit this vulnerability, leading to privilege escalation. | |||||
| CVE-2025-68937 | 2025-12-29 | N/A | N/A | ||
| Forgejo before 13.0.2 allows attackers to write to unintended files, and possibly obtain server shell access, because of mishandling of out-of-repository symlink destinations for template repositories. This is also fixed for 11 LTS in 11.0.7 and later. | |||||
| CVE-2025-11489 | 1 Wonderwhy-er | 1 Desktopcommandermcp | 2025-12-12 | 3.5 LOW | 4.5 MEDIUM |
| A security vulnerability has been detected in wonderwhy-er DesktopCommanderMCP up to 0.2.13. This vulnerability affects the function isPathAllowed of the file src/tools/filesystem.ts. The manipulation leads to symlink following. The attack can only be performed from a local environment. The attack's complexity is rated as high. It is stated that the exploitability is difficult. The exploit has been disclosed publicly and may be used. The vendor explains: "Our restriction features are designed as guardrails for LLMs to help them stay closer to what users want, rather than hardened security boundaries. (...) For users where security is a top priority, we continue to recommend using Desktop Commander with Docker, which provides actual isolation. (...) We'll keep this issue open for future consideration if we receive more user demand for improved restrictions." This vulnerability only affects products that are no longer supported by the maintainer. | |||||
| CVE-2025-67487 | 1 Static-web-server | 1 Static Web Server | 2025-12-11 | N/A | 8.6 HIGH |
| Static Web Server (SWS) is a production-ready web server suitable for static web files or assets. Versions 2.40.0 and below contain symbolic links (symlinks) which can be used to access files or directories outside the intended web root folder. SWS generally does not prevent symlinks from escaping the web server’s root directory. Therefore, if a malicious actor gains access to the web server’s root directory, they could create symlinks to access other files outside the designated web root folder either by URL or via the directory listing. This issue is fixed in version 2.40.1. | |||||
