Description
The issue is related to a UNIX Symbolic Link (Symlink) Following vulnerability in python-HyperKitty, which allows local attackers to escalate privileges from the user hyperkitty or hyperkitty-admin to root. This vulnerability is associated with the implementation of the hyperkitty-permissions.sh script in the HyperKitty web interface for accessing Mailman archives.

For openSUSE Factory python-HyperKitty versions prior to 1.3.4-5.1, update to a version later than 1.3.4-5.1.
As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the hyperkitty-permissions.sh script until a patch is available.
