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-2026-41526 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: KDE KCoreAddons. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\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-2026-41526/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-41526/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-41526","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-41526/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-41526","record":{"aliases":["AZL-85232","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-41526","GHSA-9hm5-8q4h-922j","OESA-2026-2604","OESA-2026-4166","OESA-2026-4234","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-41526","USN-8857-1","openSUSE-SU-2026:20701-1"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"KDE KCoreAddons library","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can execute arbitrary shell commands via inadequate argument quoting in KDE KCoreAddons, affecting applications using this library for security-critical input handling.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"command_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"kcoreaddons","vendor":"kde"}],"cvss":{"score":6.5,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:L","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-150","name":"Improper Neutralization of Escape, Meta, or Control Sequences"}],"description":"In KDE KCoreAddons before 6.25, KShell::quoteArgs is intended to safely quote arguments so that they can be passed to a shell command.

In particular, because sendInput() sends a string to a terminal, a control character such as \\x01 can be used during injection.","ecosystems":[],"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":"Command injection in KCoreAddons","id":"CVE-2026-41526","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"command_injection","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":5,"next":{"headline":"Privilege escalation in Kleopatra","id":"CVE-2026-41527"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Security feature bypass in Dolphin","id":"CVE-2026-41525"},"products":["KCoreAddons"],"published":"2026-04-28","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"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":"2026-04-28","vendors":["KDE"]},"summary":"Attackers can execute arbitrary shell commands via inadequate argument quoting in KDE KCoreAddons, affecting applications using this library for security-critical input handling.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-41526/"}
