The log4sh_readProperties function in log4sh 1.2.5 and earlier allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on predictable log4sh.$$ filenames.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an old local file-overwrite flaw in log4sh. A user who already has local access could abuse predictable temporary filenames to make a privileged log4sh-using process overwrite files it should not touch. Business urgency depends on whether legacy log4sh is still present and used with elevated privileges. Exposure is most likely on legacy Unix-like systems, embedded appliances, or old application stacks that still include log4sh 1.2.5 or earlier. The source bundle has incomplete affected-product metadata, so direct asset and dependency inventory is required. Treat this as a legacy hygiene issue with escalation potential. Prioritize systems where untrusted local users exist or where log4sh is used by privileged automation. If no affected log4sh is present, business risk is low. Mitigation focus: Inventory systems and application bundles for log4sh 1.2.5 or earlier.; Check vendor or distribution advisories for fixed log4sh packages.; Remove unused log4sh copies from legacy applications..
