+### 7.1 Symlinks
+
+The software attempts to access a file based on the filename, but it does not properly prevent that filename from
+identifying a hard or symlinks that resolves to an unintended recourses.
+
+Check for existence if file before opening or creating them:
+
+- If they already exists, make sure they are neither symbolic links nor hard links, unless it is an expected requirement of the application.
+- If a symlink is expected, check the target of the symlink to make sure it is pointing to an expected path before any other action.
