5.5
CVSS v3.1
Official Description
SageMath FlintQS 1.0 relies on pathnames under TMPDIR (typically world-writable), which (for example) allows a local user to overwrite files with the privileges of a different user (who is running FlintQS).
Technical Analysis
CVE-2023-29465 requires local access, meaning attackers must already have a foothold on the target system.
Exploitation requires low privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
A successful exploit results in full integrity compromise (data manipulation), with a CVSS base score of 5.5.
