{"id":"DEBIAN-CVE-2026-91202","details":"A flaw was found in cockpit-files. A low-privileged local user can exploit this vulnerability by crafting a directory containing a symbolic link (symlink) and then using the privileged \"Paste as owner\" function. This allows for arbitrary file ownership changes outside the intended pasted directory, leading to a compromise of data integrity. In some cases, this could also lead to reduced confidentiality if the new ownership grants unauthorized read access. Exploitation requires user interaction to select a non-original owner during the paste operation.","modified":"2026-09-23T08:47:29.007378657Z","published":"2026-09-18T20:17:29.260Z","upstream":["CVE-2026-91202"],"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2026-91202"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"cockpit-files","ecosystem":"Debian:14","purl":"pkg:deb/debian/cockpit-files?arch=source&distro=forky"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["36-1","36-1~bpo13+1","38-1","39-1","40-1","41-1","43-1","43-1~bpo13+1","44-1","44-1~bpo13+1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"urgency":"not yet assigned"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/debian-osv/debian-cve-osv/DEBIAN-CVE-2026-91202.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:H/A:L"}]}
