Wasmtime is a runtime for WebAssembly. Prior to 24.0.11, 36.0.12, 45.0.3, and 46.0.1, wasmtime-wasi hard-link creation and renaming check directory permissions but not matching FilePerms on source and destination preopens, allowing a WASI guest with a read-only source file capability to overwrite host files exposed as FilePerms::READ through wasip1, wasip2, or wasip3 filesystem interfaces. This issue is fixed in versions 24.0.11, 36.0.12, 45.0.3, and 46.0.1.
