A local attacker can exploit this by creating a symlink at the expected log file path pointing to a sensitive file, causing dool to truncate and overwrite the target file with log data, which is especially impactful if dool is run with elevated privileges.\nThe issue was addressed by pull request #116","published":"2026-08-27T17:18:52.000Z","lastModified":"2026-08-28T15:26:20.000Z","status":"Deferred","sourceIdentifier":"cvd@cert.pl","cvss":{"version":"4.0","score":2,"severity":"LOW","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:P/VC:N/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:X/CR:X/IR:X/AR:X/MAV:X/MAC:X/MAT:X/MPR:X/MUI:X/MVC:X/M"},"cwe":["CWE-59"],"affected":[],"epss":{"score":0.00187,"percentile":0.08219,"date":"2026-10-26","history":[]},"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 (0.19%).
