CVE-2026-53786

CVE-2026-53786 · rsync < 3.5.0 Filter Rule Bypass via --filter Merge Directive

This page contains facts from public vulnerability sources. Check the original advisory before updating.

rsync before 3.5.0 contains a filter rule bypass vulnerability that allows authenticated clients to override module-level filter restrictions by supplying malicious --filter merge file directives. Attackers can inject client-side merge file directives during filter evaluation to introduce rules that supersede daemon module-level restrictions, gaining access to files the module filter was intended to exclude.
