CVE-2026-73585
Sblim-cmpi-base: insecure temporary file creation in sblim-cmpi-base provider registration scripts allows local symlink attack
Record summary
CVE-2026-73585 has a selected CVSS score of 6.3 (medium).
Description
A flaw was found in sblim-cmpi-base. Insecure temporary file creation in the provider registration scripts allows a local unprivileged user to perform a symlink attack. By creating a symlink in a world-writable directory, an attacker can redirect privileged writes to an arbitrary file during script execution in a privileged context. This can lead to the overwrite of root-owned files, potentially disrupting system services or operation. Exploitation is conditional on the script running with elevated privileges and may be mitigated by sticky-directory symlink protections.
