Medium

Base vector

AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: projectL version 1.001

Description: The issue concerns the save function in br/prefmanager.d, which creates a projectL.prf file in the current working directory. This allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack.

Recommendations: For projectL version 1.001, consider restricting the save function's ability to create files in arbitrary locations as a temporary workaround until a patch is available.
