Summary
perltidy through 20160302, as used by perlcritic, check-all-the-things, and other software, relies on the current working directory for certain output files and does not have a symlink-attack protection mechanism, which allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files by creating a symlink, as demonstrated by creating a perltidy.ERR symlink that the victim cannot delete.
Exploit prediction (EPSS)
0.32% probability of exploitation in the next 30 days, higher than 25% of all scored CVEs.
