{"id":"CVE-2026-112910","published":"2026-11-05T22:17:46.877","lastModified":"2026-11-05T22:17:46.877","description":"filelock is a platform-independent file lock for Python. From 3.10.0 until 4.2.1, filelock on Windows ignores the mode argument for WindowsFileLock files and the ReadWriteLock SQLite database. A lock created with mode=0o600 receives the parent directory's inheritable ACL because _open_non_reparse_fd and _nt_open do not create an owner-only security descriptor. Another local account with inherited access can read holder metadata or the lock database, modify those files where the ACL permits writes, or take the byte-range lock after release and delay later acquisitions. UnixFileLock is not affected, and mutual exclusion between cooperating processes continues to hold. This issue is fixed in version 4.2.1.","cvssScore":5.3,"cvssSeverity":"MEDIUM","cvssVector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L","cwes":["CWE-732"],"vendors":[],"products":[],"references":[{"url":"https://github.com/tox-dev/filelock/commit/72786d41aa25159ad28c1bcf4291738b135b2c6c","tags":[]},{"url":"https://github.com/tox-dev/filelock/commit/e1e825b1992f69fb6b346dc395d5ae4893536c0a","tags":[]},{"url":"https://github.com/tox-dev/filelock/pull/835","tags":[]},{"url":"https://github.com/tox-dev/filelock/releases/tag/4.2.1","tags":[]},{"url":"https://github.com/tox-dev/filelock/security/advisories/GHSA-8mx5-7m5m-r77g","tags":[]}],"exploitRefs":[{"url":"https://github.com/tox-dev/filelock/commit/72786d41aa25159ad28c1bcf4291738b135b2c6c","tags":[]},{"url":"https://github.com/tox-dev/filelock/commit/e1e825b1992f69fb6b346dc395d5ae4893536c0a","tags":[]},{"url":"https://github.com/tox-dev/filelock/pull/835","tags":[]},{"url":"https://github.com/tox-dev/filelock/releases/tag/4.2.1","tags":[]},{"url":"https://github.com/tox-dev/filelock/security/advisories/GHSA-8mx5-7m5m-r77g","tags":[]}],"hasPoc":true,"ai":null}
