Security readout for executives and security teams
tin 1.40 may create a user’s .tin directory with permissions that let other local users read .inputhistory. If passwords were typed into tin prompts and stored there, another account on the same host could read them. This is a local confidentiality issue, not a remote network compromise based on the provided sources. Exposure is most plausible on shared Unix-like systems where tin 1.40 is installed and multiple local users have shell access. Single-user systems or hosts without tin 1.40 are less likely exposed. Treat this as a targeted legacy hygiene issue. Prioritize shared servers, jump hosts, academic systems, or other multi-user environments where local account separation matters. It is not evidenced as internet-exploited in the provided sources. Mitigation focus: Inventory systems for tin 1.40 or legacy tin packages.; Check vendor or distribution guidance for supported fixes.; Restrict .tin and .inputhistory access to the owning user..
