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.","state":0,"publishedAt":"2026-04-22T16:08:36.133+00:00","modifiedAt":"2026-04-22T17:24:11.243+00:00","affected":[{"ecosystem":"https://github.com/uutils","name":"coreutils","ranges":[],"versions":[],"rawVersionEvidence":"{\n                    \"vendor\": \"Uutils\",\n                    \"product\": \"coreutils\",\n                    \"platforms\": [\n                        \"Linux\",\n                        \"Unix\",\n                        \"macOS\"\n                    ],\n                    \"collectionURL\": \"https://github.com/uutils\",\n                    \"packageName\": \"coreutils\",\n                    \"repo\": \"https://github.com/uutils/coreutils\",\n                    \"defaultStatus\": \"affected\"\n                }"}],"metrics":[{"system":"CVSS 3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:L","score":5.6,"severity":"MEDIUM"}],"references":["https://github.com/uutils/coreutils/issues/9749"],"sourceUrl":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-35363","license":"CVE Program Terms of Use","key":"cve-program:CVE-2026-35363","identifiers":["CVE-2026-35363"]},"retained":false,"historicalAffected":[]}],"coverage":[]}
