It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2025-53881 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: openSUSE Tumbleweed. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-53881/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-53881/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-53881","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-53881/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-53881","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-mj4q-r4hv-qwvc","openSUSE-SU-2025:15626-1","openSUSE-SU-2025:20155-1"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"Exim mail server","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A symlink following flaw in the Exim logrotate configuration allows local attackers to escalate privileges from mail user to root.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"suse","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":6.9,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:L/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-61","name":"UNIX Symbolic Link (Symlink) Following"}],"description":"A UNIX Symbolic Link (Symlink) Following vulnerability in logrotate config in the exim package allowed privilege escalation from mail user/group to root.This issue affects Tumbleweed: from ? before 4.98.2-lp156.248.1.","ecosystems":["openSUSE:Leap 16.0","openSUSE:Tumbleweed"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"SUSE-specific logrotate configuration allows escalation from mail user/group to root","id":"CVE-2025-53881","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2025"},"n_packages":2,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Privilege escalation in openSUSE Tumbleweed","id":"CVE-2025-53882"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"openSUSE:Leap 16.0","fixed":["4.98.2-bp160.2.1"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"exim","purl":"pkg:rpm/opensuse/exim\u0026distro=openSUSE%20Leap%2016.0","source":"openSUSE-SU-2025:20155-1"},{"ecosystem":"openSUSE:Tumbleweed","fixed":["4.98.2-4.1"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"exim","purl":"pkg:rpm/opensuse/exim\u0026distro=openSUSE%20Tumbleweed","source":"openSUSE-SU-2025:15626-1"}],"prev":{"headline":"susemanager-tftpsync-recv allows arbitrary file creation and deletion due to path traversal","id":"CVE-2025-53880"},"products":["Tumbleweed"],"published":"2025-10-02","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"SUSE","prefix":"openSUSE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-10-02","vendors":["openSUSE"]},"summary":"A symlink following flaw in the Exim logrotate configuration allows local attackers to escalate privileges from mail user to root.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-53881/"}
