CVE-2026-83999 1 Microsoft 7 Windows 11 24h2, Windows 11 24h2, Windows 11 25h2 and 4 more 2026-09-09 7 High
Improper link resolution before file access ('link following') in Windows Resilient File System (ReFS) Deduplication Service allows an authorized attacker to elevate privileges locally.
CVE-2026-87766 1 Redhat 2 Enterprise Linux, Hummingbird 2026-09-09 8.8 High
A flaw was found in bubblewrap. During sandbox setup, creating files or directories under the new root can follow a parent symlink onto the host via /oldroot, writing attacker-chosen paths outside the sandbox as the launching user. This happens before the sandboxed process starts. This issue is GHSA-pxhw-h44j-8pfx. It is fixed in bubblewrap 0.12.0.
CVE-2026-54371 2 Acl Project, Attr Project 2 Acl, Attr 2026-09-09 7.1 High
attr before version 2.6.0 contains a symlink traversal vulnerability in the getfattr and setfattr utilities that allows local attackers to escalate privileges by replacing a pathname component with a symbolic link during directory hierarchy traversal. Attackers who control a pathname component can redirect getfattr and setfattr operations to arbitrary files by substituting a symlink, leading to local privilege escalation when getfattr or setfattr is invoked by a privileged process over an attacker-controlled path.
CVE-2026-54369 1 Acl Project 1 Acl 2026-09-09 7.1 High
acl before version 2.4.0 contains a symlink traversal vulnerability in the libacl pathname-based functions acl_get_file(), acl_set_file(), acl_extended_file(), and acl_delete_def_file() that allows local attackers to escalate privileges by replacing any pathname component with a symbolic link. Attackers who control any component of a pathname processed by a privileged caller can redirect ACL read or write operations to arbitrary files or directories, enabling unauthorized manipulation of access control lists and local privilege escalation.
CVE-2026-72694 2 Mrtgconfig, Redhat 2 Mrtg, Enterprise Linux 2026-09-09 7.1 High
A flaw was found in MRTG. When the MRTG daemon is started as a root user and subsequently drops privileges, a local, low-privileged attacker can exploit a symbolic link (symlink) following vulnerability. By influencing or pre-placing a symlink in the process ID (PID) file path, the attacker can trick the root process into changing the ownership of an arbitrary existing file to the daemon user. This can lead to local privilege escalation, allowing unauthorized access to or modification of sensitive files.
CVE-2026-63622 2 Libvirt, Redhat 7 Libvirt, Enterprise Linux, Enterprise Linux Eus and 4 more 2026-09-09 7.8 High
A flaw was found in libvirt. A local attacker, specifically a process running as the confined `swtpm` user, could exploit a symlink-following vulnerability in the `virFileChownFiles()` function. By planting a symbolic link within the `swtpm` state directory, the attacker could trick the root-level libvirt daemon into changing the ownership of an arbitrary file to the `swtpm` user. This allows for privilege escalation from the `swtpm` sandbox to root-level file ownership control.
CVE-2026-68830 1 Microsoft 14 Windows 10 1607, Windows 10 1809, Windows 10 21h2 and 11 more 2026-09-08 5.5 Medium
Improper link resolution before file access ('link following') in Windows Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) Device Host allows an authorized attacker to disclose information locally.
CVE-2026-86469 1 Redhat 5 Enterprise Linux, Hardened Images, Hummingbird and 2 more 2026-09-08 5.3 Medium
A flaw was found in GLib2. When g_file_replace() is used with G_FILE_CREATE_REPLACE_DESTINATION and creating the .goutputstream-XXXXXX temporary file fails, the library unlinks the destination and recreates it without exclusive creation or symlink protection. A local attacker who can write to the destination directory can win that race and redirect the write to another file.
CVE-2026-70427 2 Jenkins, Jenkins Project 2 Jenkins, Jenkins 2026-09-08 4.3 Medium
Jenkins 2.575 and earlier, LTS 2.568.1 and earlier does not safely handle symbolic links with effectively empty names during the extraction of `.tar` and `.tar.gz` archives, allowing attackers able to control agent processes to provide crafted archives to the controller to write files to arbitrary locations on the file system, restricted only by file system access permissions of the user running Jenkins.
CVE-2026-78622 2026-09-08 6 Medium
The Okta Verify for Windows uninstaller does not verify whether the user data directory is a filesystem junction before deleting its contents with elevated privileges. The delete operation follows the junction target, resulting in recursive deletion of unintended directory contents.
CVE-2026-81963 1 Microsoft 10 Windows 11 23h2, Windows 11 23h2, Windows 11 24h2 and 7 more 2026-09-08 7.8 High
Improper link resolution before file access ('link following') in Windows Update Stack allows an authorized attacker to elevate privileges locally.
CVE-2026-69771 1 Microsoft 4 Windows 11 23h2, Windows 11 24h2, Windows 11 25h2 and 1 more 2026-09-08 4.7 Medium
Improper link resolution before file access ('link following') in Windows Container Manager Service allows an authorized attacker to bypass a security feature locally.
CVE-2026-87051 2026-09-08 2.6 Low
A flaw was found in operator-foundry. The path-containment check, designed to restrict file access within a build context, only performs string-based validation. It fails to resolve symbolic links (symlinks), allowing an attacker to create a symlink within the build context that points to files or directories outside of it. This could enable unauthorized access to files beyond the intended confinement.
CVE-2026-69425 1 Microsoft 4 Windows 11 23h2, Windows 11 24h2, Windows 11 25h2 and 1 more 2026-09-08 4.7 Medium
Improper link resolution before file access ('link following') in Windows NTFS allows an authorized attacker to perform tampering locally.
CVE-2026-69289 1 Microsoft 14 Windows 10 1607, Windows 10 1809, Windows 10 21h2 and 11 more 2026-09-08 7.8 High
Improper link resolution before file access ('link following') in Windows Setup Files Cleanup allows an authorized attacker to elevate privileges locally.
CVE-2026-70563 1 Microsoft 14 Windows 10 1607, Windows 10 1809, Windows 10 21h2 and 11 more 2026-09-08 8.1 High
Improper link resolution before file access ('link following') in Windows Shell allows an unauthorized attacker to perform spoofing over a network.
CVE-2026-69379 1 Microsoft 5 Windows 11 23h2, Windows 11 24h2, Windows 11 25h2 and 2 more 2026-09-08 7 High
Improper link resolution before file access ('link following') in Windows NTFS allows an authorized attacker to elevate privileges locally.
CVE-2026-67368 1 Microsoft 4 Sql Server 2017, Sql Server 2019, Sql Server 2022 and 1 more 2026-09-08 8.8 High
Improper link resolution before file access ('link following') in SQL Server allows an authorized attacker to elevate privileges over a network.
CVE-2026-86422 1 Imagemagick 1 Imagemagick 2026-09-07 3.3 Low
ImageMagick before 7.1.2-30 contains a time-of-check-time-of-use vulnerability in path policy enforcement on Windows that allows attackers to bypass read or write restrictions by exploiting symlink race conditions. Attackers can swap symlinks between policy validation and file access to read or write policy-denied files.
CVE-2026-86424 1 Imagemagick 1 Imagemagick 2026-09-07 2.5 Low
ImageMagick before 7.1.2-30 and 6.9.13-55 contains a time-of-check-time-of-use (TOCTOU) vulnerability in the video decoder that allows attackers to bypass path policy write restrictions via symlink swaps. An attacker can replace a symlink between policy validation (check-time) and the file write operation (use-time) to write to policy-denied locations.
