# CVE-2026-73585

## Summary

- **CVE ID:** CVE-2026-73585
- **Severity:** MEDIUM
- **CVSS Score:** 6.3 (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:H)
- **CWE:** CWE-377
- **Published:** Aug 13, 2026
- **Last Modified:** Aug 14, 2026

## Description

A flaw was found in sblim-cmpi-base. Insecure temporary file creation in the provider registration scripts allows a local unprivileged user to perform a symlink attack. By creating a symlink in a world-writable directory, an attacker can redirect privileged writes to an arbitrary file during script execution in a privileged context. This can lead to the overwrite of root-owned files, potentially disrupting system services or operation. Exploitation is conditional on the script running with elevated privileges and may be mitigated by sticky-directory symlink protections.
