{"id":"GHSA-mh5c-xrmh-m794","summary":"uutils coreutils has an Untrusted Search Path","details":"A vulnerability exists in the chroot utility of uutils coreutils when using the --userspec option. The utility resolves the user specification via getpwnam() after entering the chroot but before dropping root privileges. On glibc-based systems, this can trigger the Name Service Switch (NSS) to load shared libraries (e.g., libnss_*.so.2) from the new root directory. If the NEWROOT is writable by an attacker, they can inject a malicious NSS module to execute arbitrary code as root, facilitating a full container escape or privilege escalation.","aliases":["CVE-2026-35368"],"modified":"2026-09-10T03:51:02.431988164Z","published":"2026-04-22T18:31:45Z","database_specific":{"severity":"HIGH","github_reviewed":true,"github_reviewed_at":"2026-04-30T17:50:13Z","nvd_published_at":"2026-04-22T17:16:40Z","cwe_ids":["CWE-426"]},"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-35368"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/uutils/coreutils/issues/10327"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://github.com/uutils/coreutils"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"coreutils","ecosystem":"crates.io","purl":"pkg:cargo/coreutils"},"ranges":[{"type":"SEMVER","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"last_affected":"0.8.0"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/github/advisory-database/blob/main/advisories/github-reviewed/2026/04/GHSA-mh5c-xrmh-m794/GHSA-mh5c-xrmh-m794.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H"}]}
