CVE-2007-6061

17
FAUCET Score

CVE-2007-6061 affects Audacity 1.3.2, stemming from its predictable temporary directory creation. A local attacker can exploit this by pre-creating the directory, leading to a denial of service (recording deadlock) or, more critically, arbitrary file/directory deletion via a symlink attack. The CVSS score is 5.0 (AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P), indicating a medium severity with low attack complexity and potential for partial availability impact. There is no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), or significant community discussion or media coverage.
