What it is

⚠️ Mondo 2.24 is playing fast and loose with temporary files — the kind of oversight that could let attackers peek into your sensitive data! Think of temporary files like those grocery bags we toss in the backseat after shopping. If we leave them there and don't secure them, anyone could just reach in and grab a snack—or in this case, your unprotected files! While there's no active exploitation reported, this vulnerability could potentially allow an attacker to access sensitive data accidentally stored in those temporary files. Imagine a window left ajar, allowing curious passersby to glance in—what secrets could they discover?

Put simply

Think of temporary files like those grocery bags we toss in the backseat after shopping. If we leave them there and don't secure them, anyone could just reach in and grab a snack—or in this case, your unprotected files!

What to do
