A flaw was found in PackStack. This vulnerability allows a local user to modify deployed systems by changing the answer file, which is created in insecure directories such as /tmp or the current working directory. This insecure file creation could lead to unauthorized system modifications.
Weakness
The product creates a temporary file in a directory whose permissions allow unintended actors to determine the file’s existence or otherwise access that file.
