CVE-2012-0878: Paste Script has improper group memberships permissions

May 17, 2022 (updated October 9, 2024)

Paste Script 1.7.5 and earlier does not properly set group memberships during execution with root privileges, which might allow remote attackers to bypass intended file-access restrictions by leveraging a web application that uses the local filesystem.
