The author does not condone any illegal activities or unauthorized access to systems. Use this information responsibly and only in environments where you have explicit permission to test.
A privilege escalation vulnerability existed in the Below service prior to v0.9.0 due to the creation of a world-writable directory at /var/log/below. This could have allowed local unprivileged users to escalate to root privileges through symlink attacks that manipulate files such as /etc/shadow.
