| 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-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. | |||||

| An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists in the way the Task Scheduler Service validates certain file operations. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could gain elevated privileges on a victim system. To exploit the vulnerability, an attacker would require unprivileged code execution on a victim system. The security update addresses the vulnerability by correctly validating file operations. | |||||
| CVE-2019-1064 | 1 Microsoft | 11 Windows 10 1607, Windows 10 1703, Windows 10 1709 and 8 more | 2025-05-21 | 7.2 HIGH | 7.8 HIGH |
| An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when Windows AppX Deployment Service (AppXSVC) improperly handles hard links. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could run processes in an elevated context. An attacker could then install programs; view, change or delete data. To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker would first have to log on to the system. An attacker could then run a specially crafted application that could exploit the vulnerability and take control of an affected system. The security update addresses the vulnerability by correcting how Windows AppX Deployment Service handles hard links. | |||||
| CVE-2019-0986 | 1 Microsoft | 8 Windows 10, Windows 7, Windows 8.1 and 5 more | 2025-05-20 | 3.6 LOW | 6.3 MEDIUM |
| An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when the Windows User Profile Service (ProfSvc) improperly handles symlinks. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could delete files and folders in an elevated context. To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker would first have to log on to the system. An attacker could then run a specially crafted application that could exploit the vulnerability and delete files or folders of their choosing. The security update addresses the vulnerability by correcting how the Windows User Profile Service handles symlinks. | |||||
| CVE-2019-1053 | 1 Microsoft | 8 Windows 10, Windows 7, Windows 8.1 and 5 more | 2025-05-20 | 7.2 HIGH | 6.3 MEDIUM |
| An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when the Windows Shell fails to validate folder shortcuts. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could elevate privileges by escaping a sandbox. To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker would require unprivileged execution on the victim system. The security update addresses the vulnerability by correctly validating folder shortcuts. | |||||
| CVE-2023-45159 | 1 1e | 1 Client | 2025-05-20 | N/A | 8.4 HIGH |
| 1E Client installer can perform arbitrary file deletion on protected files. A non-privileged user could provide a symbolic link or Windows junction to point to a protected directory in the installer that the 1E Client would then clear on service startup. A hotfix is available from the 1E support portal that forces the 1E Client to check for a symbolic link or junction and if it finds one refuses to use that path and instead creates a path involving a random GUID. for v8.1 use hotfix Q23097 for v8.4 use hotfix Q23105 for v9.0 use hotfix Q23115 for SaaS customers, use 1EClient v23.7 plus hotfix Q23121 | |||||
| CVE-2025-29837 | 1 Microsoft | 15 Windows 10 1507, Windows 10 1607, Windows 10 1809 and 12 more | 2025-05-19 | N/A | 5.5 MEDIUM |
| Improper link resolution before file access ('link following') in Windows Installer allows an authorized attacker to disclose information locally. | |||||
| CVE-2025-29975 | 1 Microsoft | 1 Pc Manager | 2025-05-19 | N/A | 7.8 HIGH |
| Improper link resolution before file access ('link following') in Microsoft PC Manager allows an authorized attacker to elevate privileges locally. | |||||
| CVE-2025-20003 | 2025-05-13 | N/A | N/A | ||
| Improper link resolution before file access ('Link Following') for some Intel(R) Graphics Driver software installers may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable escalation of privilege via local access. | |||||
| CVE-2024-8404 | 1 Papercut | 2 Papercut Mf, Papercut Ng | 2025-05-13 | N/A | 7.8 HIGH |
| An arbitrary file deletion vulnerability exists in PaperCut NG/MF, specifically affecting Windows servers with Web Print enabled. To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker must first obtain local login access to the Windows Server hosting PaperCut NG/MF and be capable of executing low-privilege code directly on the server via the web-print-hot-folder. Important: In most installations, this risk is mitigated by the default Windows Server configuration, which restricts local login access to Administrators only. However, this vulnerability could pose a risk to customers who allow non-administrative users to log into the local console of the Windows environment hosting the PaperCut NG/MF application server. Update: This CVE has been updated in May 2025 to update the fixed version and fix process. Please refer to the May 2025 Security Bulletin. Note: This CVE has been split from CVE-2024-3037. | |||||
