An attacker with low\u2011privileged local access can craft a symbolic link or RPC junction to point to protected system files. When the client resolves the link and deletes it, the attacker deletes critical files, potentially compromising the system\u2019s integrity and enabling further privilege escalation.", "risk_and_exploitability": "The CVSS score of 5.7 denotes moderate severity, while the EPSS <\u202f1\u202f% suggests a low probability of public exploitation. The vulnerability requires local execution; an attacker must have local user or process access and uses the DeleteFileByPath RPC control. Because it is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, no publicly known exploits are documented, but the local impact is sufficient for administrators to apply the vendor patch promptly."}}}}, "created": "2026-01-30T08:43:52.592482+00:00", "updated": "2026-04-18T01:45:33.388160+00:00", "vendors": ["teamviewer", "teamviewer$PRODUCT$dex"]}
