Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Access Control due to the improper setting of permissions on directories created by tempfile.mkdtemp(). An attacker can access and modify files in these directories by exploiting the default permission settings. This is only exploitable if alternate configurations are used or users do not have a profile directory.
