Unlike GNU tail, the uutils implementation continues to monitor a path after it has been replaced by a symbolic link, subsequently outputting the contents of the link's target. In environments where a privileged user (e.g., root) monitors a log directory, a local attacker with write access to that directory can replace a log file with a symlink to a sensitive system file (such as /etc/shadow), causing tail to disclose the contents of the sensitive file.","state":0,"publishedAt":"2026-04-22T16:07:49.191+00:00","modifiedAt":"2026-04-22T18:13:19.881+00:00","affected":[{"ecosystem":"https://github.com/uutils","name":"coreutils","ranges":[],"versions":[],"rawVersionEvidence":"{\n                    \"vendor\": \"Uutils\",\n                    \"product\": \"coreutils\",\n                    \"platforms\": [\n                        \"Linux\",\n                        \"Unix\",\n                        \"macOS\"\n                    ],\n                    \"collectionURL\": \"https://github.com/uutils\",\n                    \"packageName\": \"coreutils\",\n                    \"repo\": \"https://github.com/uutils/coreutils\",\n                    \"defaultStatus\": \"affected\"\n                }"}],"metrics":[{"system":"CVSS 3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:L/A:N","score":5.3,"severity":"MEDIUM"}],"references":["https://github.com/uutils/coreutils/issues/10328"],"sourceUrl":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-35345","license":"CVE Program Terms of Use","key":"cve-program:CVE-2026-35345","identifiers":["CVE-2026-35345"]},"retained":false,"historicalAffected":[]}],"coverage":[]}
