Summary

A local file permission vulnerability exists in Opera Browser on UNIX systems prior to version 12.12.

This can include reading cached data, passwords, and configuration files, or even escalating privileges by modifying these files. Properly managing directory permissions is crucial to protect against unauthorized access and data breaches.
