CVE-2013-0162
Status: ModifiedLow (2.1)—
The diff_pp function in lib/gauntlet_rubyparser.rb in the ruby_parser gem 3.1.1 and earlier for Ruby allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on a temporary file with a predictable name in /tmp.
CVSS
- Version: 2.0
- Vector: AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N
- Base score: 2.1
Exploitation probability (EPSS)
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.34%
- Percentile among all scored CVEs: 26
- Score date: 10/5/2026
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).
