{"id":"GHSA-hpfw-mqm3-33jh","summary":"uutils coreutils has a Link Following issue","details":"A Time-of-Check to Time-of-Use (TOCTOU) vulnerability in the cp utility of uutils coreutils allows an attacker to bypass no-dereference intent. The utility checks if a source path is a symbolic link using path-based metadata but subsequently opens it without the O_NOFOLLOW flag. An attacker with concurrent write access can swap a regular file for a symbolic link during this window, causing a privileged cp process to copy the contents of arbitrary sensitive files into a destination controlled by the attacker.","aliases":["CVE-2026-35359"],"modified":"2026-09-10T03:51:01.996835472Z","published":"2026-04-22T18:31:45Z","database_specific":{"nvd_published_at":"2026-04-22T17:16:38Z","cwe_ids":["CWE-59"],"severity":"MODERATE","github_reviewed":true,"github_reviewed_at":"2026-04-30T17:14:47Z"},"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-35359"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/uutils/coreutils/issues/10017"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://github.com/uutils/coreutils"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"coreutils","ecosystem":"crates.io","purl":"pkg:cargo/coreutils"},"ranges":[{"type":"SEMVER","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"last_affected":"0.8.0"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/github/advisory-database/blob/main/advisories/github-reviewed/2026/04/GHSA-hpfw-mqm3-33jh/GHSA-hpfw-mqm3-33jh.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N"}]}
