CWE-22  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade hercules-team/augeas to version 1.0.0 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Directory Traversal. The transform_save function in transform.c in Augeas before 1.0.0 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files and obtain sensitive information via a symlink attack on a .augsave file in a backup save action, a different vector than CVE-2012-0786.
