CVE-2025-0913 – Apache os File Symlink Creation Vulnerability

CVE ID : CVE-2025-0913

Published : June 11, 2025, 6:15 p.m. | 44 minutes ago

Description : os.OpenFile(path, os.O_CREATE|O_EXCL) behaved differently on Unix and Windows systems when the target path was a dangling symlink. On Unix systems, OpenFile with O_CREATE and O_EXCL flags never follows symlinks. On Windows, when the target path was a symlink to a nonexistent location, OpenFile would create a file in that location. OpenFile now always returns an error when the O_CREATE and O_EXCL flags are both set and the target path is a symlink.

Severity: 5.5 | MEDIUM
