GForge 4.5.14, 4.7 rc2, and 4.8.2 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on authorized_keys files in users home directories, related to deb-specific/ssh_dump_update.pl and cronjobs/cvs-cron/ssh_create.php.
The product attempts to access a file based on the filename, but it does not properly prevent that filename from identifying a link or shortcut that resolves to an unintended resource.
