Overview
net.sf.mpxj:mpxj is a Library that provides facilities to allow project information to be manipulated in Java and .Net.
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Creation of Temporary File With Insecure Permissions. A knowledgeable local user can locate temporary files created when a scheduled file is read. While they are in use, the user will be able to read the schedule being processed by MPXJ. This is because temporary files are being created with the permissions -rw-r--r--.
