CVE-2025-27154 Information

Description

Spotipy is a lightweight Python library for the Spotify Web API. The CacheHandler class creates a cache file to store the auth token. Prior to version 2.25.1 the file created has rw-r--r-- (644) permissions by default when it could be locked down to rw------- (600) permissions. This leads to overly broad exposure of the spotify auth token. If this token can be read by an attacker (another user on the machine or a process running as another user) it can be used to perform administrative actions on the Spotify account depending on the scope granted to the token. Version 2.25.1 tightens the cache file permissions.
