CVE-2020-15824

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions JetBrains Kotlin versions 1.4-M1 through 1.4-RC

Description The issue is related to a script-cache privilege escalation due to kotlin-main-kts cached scripts in the system temp directory, which is shared by all users by default. This is caused by the caching of scripts in a shared directory.

Recommendations For versions 1.4-M1 through 1.4-RC, update to version 1.4.0 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the system temp directory to minimize the risk of exploitation.
