Vulnerability identifier: #VU83254
CSH Severity: Low
CVSS v4 BT: 1.1 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear]

CWE-ID: CWE-20
Exploitation vector: Local access
Exploit availability: No public exploit available

Vulnerability details

The vulnerability allows a local user to bypass implemented security restrictions.

The vulnerability exists due to the IsLocal() function from the path/filepath package does not correctly detect reserved device names in some cases when executed on Windows. Reserved names followed by spaces, such as "COM1 ", and reserved names "COM" and "LPT" followed by superscript 1, 2, or 3, are incorrectly reported as local. A local user can abuse such behavior and bypass implemented security restrictions.
