Description

CVE-2026-67433 is a medium severity vulnerability in Linuxfabrik monitoring-plugins version 6.0.0. It involves improper link resolution before file access, where a local user controlling the plugin account can create a symbolic link in a predictable /tmp path. This symlink is followed by sqlite3.connect() during a root-run check, potentially leading to unauthorized file access or modification.
