Common Weakness Enumeration

CWE-61 - UNIX Symbolic Link (Symlink) Following
The 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.
