ID CAPEC-149
Typical Severity Medium
Status Draft

An attacker explores a target to identify the names and locations of predictable temporary files for the purpose of launching further attacks against the target.

If an attacker can predict the names of temporary files they can use this information to mount other attacks, such as information gathering and symlink attacks.
