An attacker can supply a crafted manifest file that, when processed by a user or automation using `rpm -q -p` or similar manifest-processing flows, leads to arbitrary code execution. This occurs because manifest entries are unexpectedly macro-expanded before being opened, allowing embedded shell commands to run with the privileges of the `rpm` process. Successful exploitation can lead to a full compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability for the affected account." } ], "affected": [ { "vendor": "Red Hat", "product": "Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10", "collectionURL": "https://access.redhat.com/downloads/content/package-browser/", "packageName": "rpm", "defaultStatus": "affected", "cpes": [ "cpe:/o:redhat:enterprise_linux:10" ] }, { "vendor": "Red Hat", "product": "Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6", "collectionURL": "https://access.redhat.com/downloads/content/package-browser/", "packageName": "rpm", "defaultStatus": "unknown", "cpes": [ "cpe:/o:redhat:enterprise_linux:6" ] }, { "vendor": "Red Hat", "product": "Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7", "collectionURL": "https://access.redhat.com/downloads/content/package-browser/", "packageName": "rpm", "defaultStatus": "affected", "cpes": [ "cpe:/o:redhat:enterprise_linux:7" ] }, { "vendor": "Red Hat", "product": "Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8", "collectionURL": "https://access.redhat.com/downloads/content/package-browser/", "packageName": "rpm", "defaultStatus": "affected", "cpes": [ "cpe:/o:redhat:enterprise_linux:8" ] }, { "vendor": "Red Hat", "product": "Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9", "collectionURL": "https://access.redhat.com/downloads/content/package-browser/", "packageName": "rpm", "defaultStatus": "affected", "cpes": [ "cpe:/o:redhat:enterprise_linux:9" ] }, { "vendor": "Red Hat", "product": "Red Hat Hardened Images", "collectionURL": "https://access.redhat.com/downloads/content/package-browser/", "packageName": "rpm", "defaultStatus": "affected", "cpes": [ "cpe:/a:redhat:hummingbird:1" ] } ], "references": [ { "url": "https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2026-95519", "tags": [ "vdb-entry", "x_refsource_REDHAT" ] }, { "url": "https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2470977", "name": "RHBZ#2470977", "tags": [ "issue-tracking", "x_refsource_REDHAT" ] } ], "datePublic": "2026-09-24T12:35:01.459Z", "problemTypes": [ { "descriptions": [ { "cweId": "CWE-78", "description": "Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command ('OS Command Injection')", "lang": "en", "type": "CWE" } ] } ], "x_redhatCweChain": "CWE-78: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command ('OS Command Injection')", "workarounds": [ { "lang": "en", "value": "To mitigate this issue, avoid querying untrusted files with `rpm`.
