3) Incorrect default permissions (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-8908)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to incorrect default permissions for files located in the temporary directory set by the Guava com.google.common.io.Files.createTempDir(). A local user with access to the system can view contents of files and directories or modify them.
