CWEhttps://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/378.html

A temp directory creation vulnerability exists in all versions of Guava, allowing an attacker with access to the machine to potentially access data in a temporary directory created by the Guava API com.google.common.io.Files.createTempDir(). By default, on unix-like systems, the created directory is world-readable (readable by an attacker with access to the system). The method in question has been marked @Deprecated in versions 30.0 and later and should not be used. For Android developers, we recommend choosing a temporary directory API provided by Android, such as context.getCacheDir(). For other Java developers, we recommend migrating to the Java 7 API java.nio.file.Files.createTempDirectory() which explicitly configures permissions of 700, or configuring the Java runtimes java.io.tmpdir system property to point to a location whose permissions are appropriately configured.

Weakness

Opening temporary files without appropriate measures or controls can leave the file, its contents and any function that it impacts vulnerable to attack.
