CVE-2025-15318

Arbitrary file deletion via improper link resolution

Published Feb 9, 2026 · Updated Feb 9, 2026

Link-following in Tanium End-User Notifications Endpoint Tools allows local users to delete or overwrite arbitrary files. Tanium identifies improper link resolution before file access but has not disclosed the affected file operation, path-validation logic, or executable. Local low-privileged access to a system running Tanium Client is required, and the reported consequence is limited to file deletion or overwrite.
