While the utility correctly refuses to delete . or .., it fails to recognize equivalent paths with trailing slashes, such as ./ or .///. An accidental or malicious execution of rm -rf ./ results in the silent recursive deletion of all contents within the current directory. The command further obscures the data loss by reporting a misleading 'Invalid input' error, which may cause users to miss the critical window for data recovery."},{"lang":"es","value":"Una vulnerabilidad en la utilidad rm de uutils coreutils permite eludir los mecanismos de salvaguardia destinados a proteger el directorio actual. Si bien la utilidad se niega correctamente a eliminar . o .., no reconoce rutas equivalentes con barras diagonales finales, como ./ o .///. Una ejecución accidental o maliciosa de rm -rf ./ resulta en la eliminación recursiva silenciosa de todo el contenido dentro del directorio actual. El comando oculta aún más la pérdida de datos al informar un error engañoso de ’Invalid input’, lo que puede hacer que los usuarios pierdan la ventana crítica para la recuperación de datos."}],"affected":[{"source":"security@ubuntu.com","affectedData":[{"vendor":"Uutils","product":"coreutils","defaultStatus":"affected","collectionURL":"https://github.com/uutils","packageName":"coreutils","platforms":["Linux","Unix","macOS"],"repo":"https://github.com/uutils/coreutils"}]}],"metrics":{"cvssMetricV31":[{"source":"security@ubuntu.com","type":"Secondary","cvssData":{"version":"3.1","vectorString":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:L","baseScore":5.6,"baseSeverity":"MEDIUM","attackVector":"LOCAL","attackComplexity":"LOW","privilegesRequired":"LOW","userInteraction":"REQUIRED","scope":"UNCHANGED","confidentialityImpact":"NONE","integrityImpact":"HIGH","availabilityImpact":"LOW"},"exploitabilityScore":1.3,"impactScore":4.2}],"ssvcV203":[{"source":"134c704f-9b21-4f2e-91b3-4a467353bcc0","ssvcData":{"timestamp":"2026-04-22T17:24:03.925303Z","id":"CVE-2026-35363","options":[{"exploitation":"none"},{"automatable":"no"},{"technicalImpact":"partial"}],"role":"CISA Coordinator","version":"2.0.3"}}]},"weaknesses":[{"source":"security@ubuntu.com","type":"Secondary","description":[{"lang":"en","value":"CWE-22"}]}],"configurations":[{"nodes":[{"operator":"OR","negate":false,"cpeMatch":[{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:a:uutils:coreutils:-:*:*:*:*:rust:*:*","matchCriteriaId":"4A9AF9E4-E17C-48AD-8051-B49998618839"}]}]}],"references":[{"url":"https://github.com/uutils/coreutils/issues/9749","source":"security@ubuntu.com","tags":["Exploit","Issue Tracking","Vendor Advisory"]}]}
