**Description**
A chmod call in the `Cpanel::Nova::Connector` function follows symlinks, which allows an authenticated user to set root permissions on arbitrary system files or directories. This occurs when a user places a symlink at a user-controlled legacy Nova path within their home directory, potentially leading to local privilege escalation or a denial-of-service (DoS) condition.
