| ## 2026-10-25 - [CRITICAL] Prevent Predictable Temporary File Vulnerabilities (CWE-377/CWE-379) | ||
| **Vulnerability:** The script `automation/ops/reconfigure_ksc_service.py` was creating a temporary file (`/tmp/reconfig_ans.txt`) containing plaintext administrative and database credentials using a hardcoded and predictable filename in a world-writable directory (`/tmp`). This exposes the application to race conditions, symlink attacks, and local privilege escalation. | ||
| **Learning:** Using predictable filenames in shared directories like `/tmp` allows local attackers to pre-create the file (e.g., as a symlink to a sensitive system file or to capture the output), exploiting the execution context to overwrite files or steal sensitive data before the intended application uses it. | ||
| **Prevention:** Always append a random string, such as `uuid.uuid4().hex`, to temporary files in shared directories (e.g., `/tmp/reconfig_ans_{uuid.uuid4().hex}.txt`) to ensure uniqueness and prevent predictable temporary file vulnerabilities. |
