Common Weakness Enumeration
- CWE-61 - UNIX Symbolic Link (Symlink) FollowingThe software, when opening a file or directory, does not sufficiently account for when the file is a symbolic link that resolves to a target outside of the intended control sphere. This could allow an attacker to cause the software to operate on unauthorized files.
- CWE-59 - Improper Link Resolution Before File Access ('Link Following')The software attempts to access a file based on the filename, but it does not properly prevent that filename from identifying a link or shortcut that resolves to an unintended resource.
