Published May 5, 2024 CVSS 3.1 · 5.1 Medium EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed

Description

In Maxima through 5.47.0 before 51704c, the plotting facilities make use of predictable names under /tmp. Thus, the contents may be controlled by a local attacker who can create files in advance with these names. This affects, for example, plot2d.
