CVE-2026-84233

CVE-2026-84233 · Rpm: command execution via macro expansion in `rpmuncompress -x` for crafted `.gem` filenames

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

A flaw was found in rpm. A local attacker could supply a specially crafted `.gem` filename containing RPM macro syntax. When a user or automated workflow invokes `rpmuncompress -x` on this file, the macro expansion occurs during command construction. This allows the attacker to execute arbitrary commands with the privileges of the invoking account, leading to a compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
