The final return value is determined solely by the success or failure of the last file processed. This allows the command to return an exit code of 0 (success) even if errors were encountered on previous files, such as 'Operation not permitted'. Scripts relying on these exit codes may proceed under a false sense of success while sensitive files remain with restrictive or incorrect permissions.","state":0,"publishedAt":"2026-04-22T17:16:35.767+00:00","modifiedAt":"2026-10-26T21:10:00.17+00:00","affected":[],"metrics":[{"system":"CVSS 3.1 · security@ubuntu.com · Secondary","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N","score":5.5,"severity":"MEDIUM"}],"references":["https://github.com/uutils/coreutils/pull/9793","https://github.com/uutils/coreutils/releases/tag/0.6.0"],"sourceUrl":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-35339","license":"NIST NVD usage terms; underlying source attribution retained","enrichment":{"sourceStatus":"Analyzed","weaknesses":["CWE-253"],"productCriteria":["cpe:2.3:a:uutils:coreutils:*:*:*:*:*:rust:*:*"],"sourceDates":{"published":"2026-04-22T17:16:35.767","lastModified":"2026-10-26T21:10:00.170"},"relatedAdvisories":[],"note":"NVD analysis and CPE criteria are source context, not proof that a package or your environment is affected.
