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

In RESTEasy the insecure File.createTempFile() is used in the DataSourceProvider, FileProvider and Mime4JWorkaround classes which creates temp files with insecure permissions that could be read by a local user.

Weakness

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