The service runs as root and operates on a file inside a directory owned by an unprivileged system user without verifying that the file is not a symbolic link. A local attacker who has already compromised the privileged yggdrasil system service account can exploit this to gain ownership of arbitrary files, leading to privilege escalation to root.","published":"2026-10-19T12:17:02.000Z","lastModified":"2026-10-19T21:03:28.000Z","status":"Awaiting Analysis","sourceIdentifier":"secalert@redhat.com","cvss":{"version":"3.1","score":6,"severity":"MEDIUM","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:H"},"cwe":["CWE-59"],"affected":[],"epss":{"score":0.00133,"percentile":0.02801,"date":"2026-10-27","history":[{"date":"2026-10-20","score":0.00133,"percentile":0.02531}]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":0,"verified":false,"firstPublished":null,"source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[]},"verdict":{"level":"low","text":"Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.13%).
