# CVE-2026-56651

## Summary

- **CVE ID:** CVE-2026-56651
- **Severity:** LOW
- **CVSS Score:** 2 (CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:P/VC:N/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N)
- **CWE:** CWE-59
- **Published:** Aug 27, 2026
- **Last Modified:** Aug 27, 2026

## Description

Dool in versions up to 1.3.8 is vulnerable to symlink following when the "--devel" flag is used, as the application opens a log file without the "O_NOFOLLOW" flag. A local attacker can exploit this by creating a symlink at the expected log file path pointing to a sensitive file, causing dool to truncate and overwrite the target file with log data, which is especially impactful if dool is run with elevated privileges.
