Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-70463 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: RsyncProject rsync. 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-2026-70463/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-70463/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-70463","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-70463/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-70463","record":{"aliases":["ALPINE-CVE-2026-70463","AZL-95801","BELL-CVE-2026-70463","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-70463","ECHO-f2d9-9a60-877f","GHSA-pfj8-79vq-xgvr","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-11-CVE-2026-70463","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-70463"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"rsync file sync","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"An authenticated user can bypass access restrictions on rsync modules if the auth users directive contains group names with spaces, allowing unauthorized access to restricted data.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"auth_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"VulnCheck","cpe":[{"product":"rsync","vendor":"samba"}],"cvss":{"score":8.6,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-863","name":"Incorrect Authorization"}],"description":"rsync 3.1.0 before 3.5.0 contains an authorization bypass in auth users directive parsing. The auth users parser uses comma-only tokenization when splitting the user list, which fails to correctly handle entries of the form @Group Name where the group name contains a space. The space within the group name causes the parser to split the entry at the space boundary, discarding the deny rule associated with the group. An authenticated user whose username or group membership would be denied by an @Group Name auth users entry can connect to a restricted module because the deny rule is silently discarded during parsing.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":"2026-08-28","github_poc":1,"max_poc_stars":0,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2026-08-28T04:31:44Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/Fyyre/CVE-2026-70463","stars":0,"title":"Testing CVE-2026-70463 by Fyyre"}],"tier":"poc_unverified"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"rsync 3.1.0 \u003c 3.5.0 Authorization Bypass via auth users Directive Parsing","id":"CVE-2026-70463","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"auth_bypass","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"rsync 2.0.0 \u003c 3.5.0 Connection Slot Exhaustion DoS via Handshake Stall","id":"CVE-2026-70464"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"rsync 3.1.0 \u003c 3.5.0 Signed Integer Overflow via MSG_IO_TIMEOUT","id":"CVE-2026-70462"},"products":["rsync"],"published":"2026-08-13","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-15994","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-10-29"},{"cvss_score":9.1,"headline":"rsync \u003c 3.5.0 Daemon IP Spoofing via PROXY Protocol Header","id":"CVE-2026-53791","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-08-13"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"rsync 3.2.5 \u003c 3.5.0 Heap Out-of-Bounds Write via files-from Entry","id":"CVE-2026-70461","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-08-13"},{"cvss_score":8.7,"headline":"rsync 3.4.2 \u003c 3.5.0 DoS via --zt Zstandard Compression Thread Exhaustion","id":"CVE-2026-70455","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-08-13"},{"cvss_score":8.5,"headline":"rsync \u003c 3.5.0 Symlink Following Arbitrary File Overwrite","id":"CVE-2026-53803","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-08-13"},{"cvss_score":8.4,"headline":"rsync \u003c 3.5.0 Path Traversal via Symlink Module Root","id":"CVE-2026-53784","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-08-13"}],"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)"},{"class":"open","licence":"CC0","name":"PoC-in-GitHub"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-08-14","vendors":["RsyncProject"]},"summary":"An authenticated user can bypass access restrictions on rsync modules if the auth users directive contains group names with spaces, allowing unauthorized access to restricted data.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-70463/"}
