CVE-2026-95519

Rpm: code execution via macro expansion of manifest entries in `rpmgi` (`-q -p` / verify manifest flows)

Published: Sep 24, 2026Updated: Sep 24, 2026 Sources: CVE List NVDCWE-78

7.8HIGH

Description

A flaw was found in rpm. An attacker can supply a crafted manifest file that, when processed by a user or automation using `rpm -q -p` or similar manifest-processing flows, leads to arbitrary code execution. This occurs because manifest entries are unexpectedly macro-expanded before being opened, allowing embedded shell commands to run with the privileges of the `rpm` process. Successful exploitation can lead to a full compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability for the affected account.
