NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream onionshare package and not the onionshare package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:unstable relevant fixed versions and status.

The debug_mode function in web/web.py in OnionShare through 1.3.1, when --debug is enabled, uses the /tmp/onionshare_server.log pathname for logging, which might allow local users to overwrite files or obtain sensitive information by using this pathname.
