MODERATECVE-2017-16024

Affected versions of sync-exec use files located in /tmp/ to buffer command results before returning values. As /tmp/ is almost always set with world readable permissions, this may allow low privilege users on the system to read the results of commands run via sync-exec under a higher privilege user.

Affected: <= 0.6.2
Fixed in: not stated
Weakness: CWE-377
