GHSA-G4MQ-6FP5-QWCF
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2021-04-20 16:46 – Updated: 2024-11-18 16:26A race condition flaw was found in Ansible Engine 2.7.17 and prior, 2.8.9 and prior, 2.9.6 and prior when running a playbook with an unprivileged become user. When Ansible needs to run a module with become user, the temporary directory is created in /var/tmp. This directory is created with "umask 77 && mkdir -p "; this operation does not fail if the directory already exists and is owned by another user. An attacker could take advantage to gain control of the become user as the target directory can be retrieved by iterating '/proc//cmdline'.

GHSA-GC5V-M9X4-R6X2
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-03-25 16:56 – Updated: 2026-03-27 22:07Impact
The requests.utils.extract_zipped_paths() utility function uses a predictable filename when extracting files from zip archives into the system temporary directory. If the target file already exists, it is reused without validation. A local attacker with write access to the temp directory could pre-create a malicious file that would be loaded in place of the legitimate one.
Affected usages
Standard usage of the Requests library is not affected by this vulnerability. Only applications that call extract_zipped_paths() directly are impacted.
Remediation
Upgrade to at least Requests 2.33.0, where the library now extracts files to a non-deterministic location.
If developers are unable to upgrade, they can set TMPDIR in their environment to a directory with restricted write access.

The installer creates a temporary file with mktemp, writes a privileged shell payload into it, and executes it with administrator privileges via bash, allowing a same-user local process to rewrite the installer body before the administrator prompt is approved, causing attacker-controlled commands to run as root.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2024-05-05 03:30 – Updated: 2024-07-03 18:38In Maxima through 5.47.0 before 51704c, the plotting facilities make use of predictable names under /tmp. Thus, the contents may be controlled by a local attacker who can create files in advance with these names. This affects, for example, plot2d.

CAPEC-149: Explore for Predictable Temporary File Names
An attacker explores a target to identify the names and locations of predictable temporary files for the purpose of launching further attacks against the target. This involves analyzing naming conventions and storage locations of the temporary files created by a target application. If an attacker can predict the names of temporary files they can use this information to mount other attacks, such as information gathering and symlink attacks.
CAPEC-155: Screen Temporary Files for Sensitive Information
An adversary exploits the temporary, insecure storage of information by monitoring the content of files used to store temp data during an application's routine execution flow. Many applications use temporary files to accelerate processing or to provide records of state across multiple executions of the application. Sometimes, however, these temporary files may end up storing sensitive information. By screening an application's temporary files, an adversary might be able to discover such sensitive information. For example, web browsers often cache content to accelerate subsequent lookups. If the content contains sensitive information then the adversary could recover this from the web cache.
