CVE-2022-41954: Temporary File Information Disclosure vulnerability in MPXJ
(updated )
On Unix-like operating systems (not Windows or macos), MPXJ’s use of File.createTempFile(..) results in temporary files being created with the permissions -rw-r--r--. This means that any other user on the system can read the contents of this file. When MPXJ is reading a type of schedule file which requires the creation of a temporary file or directory, a knowledgeable local user could locate these transient files while they are in use and would then be able to read the schedule being processed by MPXJ.
