Summary

Tookie is an advanced OSINT information gathering tool. Prior to 4.1fix, write_txt, write_csv, write_json, and scan_file helpers open output files using an unsanitized username from the -u flag or -U file, allowing writes to arbitrary paths the user can write to.

Risk Assessment

An attacker could overwrite or create files in arbitrary locations writable by the user, potentially causing data corruption or escalation. Fixed in 4.1fix.

Recommendation

Update tookie-osint to version 4.1fix or later.

Original NVD description (English source)

Tookie is a advanced OSINT information gathering tool. Prior to 4.1fix, modules/modules.py's write_txt, write_csv, write_json, and (commented-but-shipping) scan_file helpers open their output as open(f"{user}.<ext>"), where user comes unsanitized from the -u CLI flag or any line of a -U usernames file. A username that contains path-separator sequences (.., /, \, or an absolute path) causes tookie-osint to write the scan output to an arbitrary path the invoking user has write permission for. This vulnerability is fixed in 4.1fix.
