imapsync <2.229 - Privilege Escalation

Title source: llm
STIX 2.1

Description

imapsync through 2.229 uses predictable paths under /tmp and /var/tmp in its default mode of operation. Both of these are typically world-writable, and thus (for example) an attacker can modify imapsync's cache and overwrite files belonging to the user who runs it.
