The implementation uses a path-string check rather than comparing device and inode numbers to identify the root directory. An attacker or accidental user can bypass this safeguard by using a symbolic link that resolves to the root directory (e.g., /tmp/rootlink -> /), potentially leading to the unintended recursive deletion of the entire root filesystem.","state":0,"publishedAt":"2026-04-22T17:16:37.19+00:00","modifiedAt":"2026-06-17T10:40:26.377+00:00","affected":[],"metrics":[{"system":"CVSS 3.1 · security@ubuntu.com · Secondary","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:H","score":6.7,"severity":"MEDIUM"},{"system":"CVSS 3.1 · nvd@nist.gov · Primary","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:H","score":7.7,"severity":"HIGH"}],"references":["https://github.com/uutils/coreutils/pull/9706","https://github.com/uutils/coreutils/releases/tag/0.7.0"],"sourceUrl":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-35349","license":"NIST NVD usage terms; underlying source attribution retained","enrichment":{"sourceStatus":"Analyzed","weaknesses":["CWE-59"],"productCriteria":["cpe:2.3:a:uutils:coreutils:*:*:*:*:*:rust:*:*"],"sourceDates":{"published":"2026-04-22T17:16:37.190","lastModified":"2026-06-17T10:40:26.377"},"relatedAdvisories":[],"note":"NVD analysis and CPE criteria are source context, not proof that a package or your environment is affected.
