QID 980276

QID 980276: Java (maven) Security Update for com.google.guava:guava (GHSA-5mg8-w23w-74h3)

A temp directory creation vulnerability exist in Guava versions prior to 30.0 allowing an attacker with access to the machine to potentially access data in a temporary directory created by the Guava com.google.common.io.Files.createTempDir(). The permissions granted to the directory created default to the standard unix-like /tmp ones, leaving the files open. We recommend updating Guava to version 30.0 or later, or update to Java 7 or later, or to explicitly change the permissions after the creation of the directory if neither are possible.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may affect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the targeted user.
