CVE-2024-52522 1 Rclone 1 Rclone 2026-04-15 6.8 Medium
Rclone is a command-line program to sync files and directories to and from different cloud storage providers. Insecure handling of symlinks with --links and --metadata in rclone while copying to local disk allows unprivileged users to indirectly modify ownership and permissions on symlink target files when a superuser or privileged process performs a copy. This vulnerability could enable privilege escalation and unauthorized access to critical system files, compromising system integrity, confidentiality, and availability. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.68.2.
CVE-2025-41421 2 Microsoft, Teamviewer 6 Windows, Full Client, Host and 3 more 2026-04-15 4.7 Medium
Improper handling of symbolic links in the TeamViewer Full Client and Host for Windows — in versions prior to 15.70 of TeamViewer Remote and Tensor — allows an attacker with local, unprivileged access to a device lacking adequate malware protection to escalate privileges by spoofing the update file path. This may result in unauthorized access to sensitive information.
CVE-2025-30371 1 Metabase 1 Metabase 2026-04-15 N/A
Metabase is a business intelligence and embedded analytics tool. Versions prior to v0.52.16.4, v1.52.16.4, v0.53.8, and v1.53.8 are vulnerable to circumvention of local link access protection in GeoJson endpoint. Self hosted Metabase instances that are using the GeoJson feature could be potentially impacted if their Metabase is colocated with other unsecured resources. This is fixed in v0.52.16.4, v1.52.16.4, v0.53.8, and v1.53.8. Migrating to Metabase Cloud or redeploying Metabase in a dedicated subnet with strict outbound port controls is an available workaround.
CVE-2025-13154 1 Lenovo 1 Vantage 2026-04-15 5.5 Medium
An improper link following vulnerability was reported in the SmartPerformanceAddin for Lenovo Vantage that could allow an authenticated local user to perform an arbitrary file deletion with elevated privileges.
CVE-2024-1753 1 Redhat 3 Enterprise Linux, Openshift, Rhel Eus 2026-04-15 8.6 High
A flaw was found in Buildah (and subsequently Podman Build) which allows containers to mount arbitrary locations on the host filesystem into build containers. A malicious Containerfile can use a dummy image with a symbolic link to the root filesystem as a mount source and cause the mount operation to mount the host root filesystem inside the RUN step. The commands inside the RUN step will then have read-write access to the host filesystem, allowing for full container escape at build time.
CVE-2025-5296 1 Schneider-electric 1 Software Update Utility 2026-04-15 7.3 High
CWE-59: Improper Link Resolution Before File Access ('Link Following') vulnerability exists that could cause arbitrary data to be written to protected locations, potentially leading to escalation of privilege, arbitrary file corruption, exposure of application and system information or persistent denial of service when a low-privileged attacker tampers with the installation folder.
CVE-2024-13961 1 Avast 1 Cleanup Premium 2026-04-15 7.8 High
Link Following Local Privilege Escalation Vulnerability in TuneupSvc in Avast Cleanup Premium Version 24.2.16593.17810 on Windows 10 Pro x64 allows local attackers to escalate privileges and execute arbitrary code in the context of SYSTEM via creating a symbolic link and leveraging a TOCTTOU (time-of-check to time-of-use) attack.
CVE-2025-41668 2026-04-15 8.8 High
A low privileged remote attacker with file access can replace a critical file or folder used by the service security-profile to get read, write and execute access to any file on the device.
CVE-2025-43490 1 Hp 2 Hotkey Support Software, Hp 2026-04-15 N/A
A potential security vulnerability has been identified in the HPAudioAnalytics service included in the HP Hotkey Support software, which might allow escalation of privilege. HP is releasing software updates to mitigate the potential vulnerability.
