Local file disclosure via insecure temporary-file recreation
Published Jun 13, 2023 · Updated Jan 3, 2025
Insecure temporary-file permissions in Hutool Core before 5.8.19 allow local users to read or alter temporary files. FileUtil.createTempFile uses java.io.File.createTempFile and can delete the protected file before recreating it with createNewFile, losing restrictive permissions. Exploitation requires a co-resident local user, a shared Unix-like temporary directory, and a caller that places sensitive data in the created file; the upstream report excludes macOS and Windows.
