Local file manipulation via incorrect resource permissions
Published Feb 20, 2026 · Updated Feb 20, 2026
Incorrect resource permissions in Owl Cyber Defense OPDS-Talon 2.2.0.4 and earlier allow local users to manipulate files. Nozomi Networks has not disclosed the affected file, request handler, or permission-setting operation, so the concrete locus and wrong operation remain unavailable. Exploitation requires local low-privileged access and no user interaction; the public record does not identify which files can be read, changed, deleted, or used to interrupt the system.
