pytest through 9.0.2 on UNIX relies on directories with the /tmp/pytest-of-{user} name pattern, which allows local users to cause a denial of service or possibly gain privileges.
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.
