    Symlink Attack

    Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Symlink Attack via a race condition in the _acquire method. An attacker can cause lock operations to fail or behave unexpectedly by creating a symlink at the lock file path between the permission check and file creation.

    Upgrade filelock to version 3.20.3 or higher.
