Dell Alienware Command Center 5.x (AWCC), versions prior to 5.10.2.0, contains an Improper Link Resolution Before File Access ('Link Following')" vulnerability. A low privileged attacker with local access could potentially exploit this vulnerability, leading to Elevation of Privileges.
CVE-2025-8612 1 Aomeitech 1 Backupper Workstation 2025-09-03 N/A
AOMEI Backupper Workstation Link Following Local Privilege Escalation Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows local attackers to escalate privileges on affected installations of AOMEI Backupper Workstation. An attacker must first obtain the ability to execute low-privileged code on the target system in order to exploit this vulnerability. User interaction on the part of an administrator is needed additionally. The specific flaw exists within the restore functionality. By creating a junction, an attacker can abuse the service to create arbitrary files. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to escalate privileges and execute arbitrary code in the context of SYSTEM. Was ZDI-CAN-27059.
CVE-2025-57749 1 N8n 1 N8n 2025-09-03 6.5 Medium
n8n is a workflow automation platform. Before 1.106.0, a symlink traversal vulnerability was discovered in the Read/Write File node in n8n. While the node attempts to restrict access to sensitive directories and files, it does not properly account for symbolic links (symlinks). An attacker with the ability to create symlinks—such as by using the Execute Command node—could exploit this to bypass the intended directory restrictions and read from or write to otherwise inaccessible paths. Users of n8n.cloud are not impacted. Affected users should update to version 1.106.0 or later.
CVE-2024-5742 2 Gnu, Redhat 2 Nano, Enterprise Linux 2025-09-02 6.7 Medium
A vulnerability was found in GNU Nano that allows a possible privilege escalation through an insecure temporary file. If Nano is killed while editing, a file it saves to an emergency file with the permissions of the running user provides a window of opportunity for attackers to escalate privileges through a malicious symlink.
CVE-2023-7216 2 Gnu, Redhat 2 Cpio, Enterprise Linux 2025-09-02 5.3 Medium
A path traversal vulnerability was found in the CPIO utility. This issue could allow a remote unauthenticated attacker to trick a user into opening a specially crafted archive. During the extraction process, the archiver could follow symlinks outside of the intended directory, which allows files to be written in arbitrary directories through symlinks.
CVE-2024-54554 1 Apple 2 Macos, Macos Sequoia 2025-09-02 5.5 Medium
This issue was addressed with improved handling of symlinks. This issue is fixed in macOS Sequoia 15.1. An app may be able to access sensitive user data.
CVE-2024-45770 1 Redhat 5 Enterprise Linux, Rhel Aus, Rhel E4s and 2 more 2025-08-30 4.4 Medium
A vulnerability was found in Performance Co-Pilot (PCP). This flaw can only be exploited if an attacker has access to a compromised PCP system account. The issue is related to the pmpost tool, which is used to log messages in the system. Under certain conditions, it runs with high-level privileges.
CVE-2024-30018 1 Microsoft 9 Windows 10 1809, Windows 10 21h2, Windows 10 22h2 and 6 more 2025-08-27 7.8 High
Windows Kernel Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability
CVE-2024-10007 1 Github 1 Enterprise Server 2025-08-27 9.1 Critical
A path collision and arbitrary code execution vulnerability was identified in GitHub Enterprise Server that allowed container escape to escalate to root via ghe-firejail path. Exploitation of this vulnerability requires Enterprise Administrator access to the GitHub Enterprise Server instance. This vulnerability affected all versions of GitHub Enterprise prior to 3.15 and was fixed in versions 3.14.3, 3.13.6, 3.12.11, and 3.11.17. This vulnerability was reported via the GitHub Bug Bounty program.
CVE-2025-48384 2 Git, Git-scm 2 Git, Git 2025-08-26 8.1 High
Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations and full access to internals. When reading a config value, Git strips any trailing carriage return and line feed (CRLF). When writing a config entry, values with a trailing CR are not quoted, causing the CR to be lost when the config is later read. When initializing a submodule, if the submodule path contains a trailing CR, the altered path is read resulting in the submodule being checked out to an incorrect location. If a symlink exists that points the altered path to the submodule hooks directory, and the submodule contains an executable post-checkout hook, the script may be unintentionally executed after checkout. This vulnerability is fixed in v2.43.7, v2.44.4, v2.45.4, v2.46.4, v2.47.3, v2.48.2, v2.49.1, and v2.50.1.
