It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-35363 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- uu_rm (crates.io): affected all versions; fixed in 0.6.0\n- uu_rm (crates.io): affected all versions; fixed in 0.6.0\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-35363/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-35363/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-35363","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-35363/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-35363","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2026-35363","GHSA-89p7-7cq3-hhr2","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-35363"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_modify","denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"uutils coreutils","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Attackers can bypass rm safeguards to recursively delete current directory contents via path normalization flaws, causing data loss and DoS.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"canonical","cpe":[{"product":"coreutils","vendor":"uutils"}],"cvss":{"score":5.6,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:L","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-22","name":"Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory"}],"description":"A vulnerability in the rm utility of uutils coreutils allows the bypass of safeguard mechanisms intended to protect the current directory. While the utility correctly refuses to delete . or .., it fails to recognize equivalent paths with trailing slashes, such as ./ or .///. An accidental or malicious execution of rm -rf ./ results in the silent recursive deletion of all contents within the current directory. The command further obscures the data loss by reporting a misleading 'Invalid input' error, which may cause users to miss the critical window for data recovery.","ecosystems":["crates.io"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"uutils coreutils rm Safeguard Bypass via Improper Path Normalization","id":"CVE-2026-35363","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"crates.io","product":null,"products":[],"type":"path_traversal","year":"2026"},"n_packages":2,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"uutils coreutils mv Arbitrary File Overwrite via Cross-Device TOCTOU Race Condition","id":"CVE-2026-35364"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"crates.io","fixed":["0.6.0"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"uu_rm","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-89p7-7cq3-hhr2"},{"ecosystem":"crates.io","fixed":["0.6.0"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"uu_rm","purl":"pkg:cargo/uu_rm","source":"GHSA-89p7-7cq3-hhr2"}],"prev":{"headline":"uutils coreutils Missing TOCTOU Protection on Non-Linux Unix Platforms in Safe Traversal Module","id":"CVE-2026-35362"},"products":["coreutils"],"published":"2026-04-22","related":[{"cvss_score":7.3,"headline":"uutils coreutils chmod Path Traversal Bypass of --preserve-root","id":"CVE-2026-35338","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-04-22"},{"cvss_score":7.2,"headline":"uutils coreutils chroot Local Privilege Escalation and chroot Escape in via Name Service Switch (NSS) Injection","id":"CVE-2026-35368","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-04-22"},{"cvss_score":7.1,"headline":"uutils coreutils mkfifo Unauthorized Permission Change on Existing Files","id":"CVE-2026-35341","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-04-22"},{"cvss_score":7,"headline":"uutils coreutils mkfifo Privilege Escalation via TOCTOU Race Condition","id":"CVE-2026-35352","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-04-22"},{"cvss_score":6.7,"headline":"uutils coreutils Path-Based Safety Bypass with --preserve-root","id":"CVE-2026-35349","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-04-22"},{"cvss_score":6.6,"headline":"uutils coreutils cp Unexpected Privileged Executable Creation with -p","id":"CVE-2026-35350","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-04-22"},{"cvss_score":6.6,"headline":"uutils coreutils mv Denial of Service and Data Duplication via Improper Symlink Expansion","id":"CVE-2026-35365","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-04-22"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"GitHub Advisory Database","prefix":"GHSA"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-04-22","vendors":["Uutils"]},"summary":"Attackers can bypass rm safeguards to recursively delete current directory contents via path normalization flaws, causing data loss and DoS.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-35363/"}
