The nm-fortisslvpn-service improperly handles carriage-return/line-feed (CR/LF) characters in VPN connection profile credentials. A local unprivileged user can exploit this by crafting a malicious VPN profile to inject additional configuration directives. This can lead to arbitrary code execution with root privileges when the crafted VPN connection is activated.","state":0,"publishedAt":"2026-09-25T17:56:31.225+00:00","modifiedAt":"2026-09-28T12:44:46.096+00:00","affected":[{"ecosystem":"https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/NetworkManager-fortisslvpn","name":"network-manager-fortisslvpn","ranges":[],"versions":[],"rawVersionEvidence":"{\n                    \"vendor\": \"GNOME\",\n                    \"product\": \"NetworkManager-fortisslvpn\",\n                    \"versions\": [\n                        {\n                            \"status\": \"affected\",\n                            \"version\": \"0\",\n                            \"lessThan\": \"*\",\n                            \"versionType\": \"semver\"\n                        }\n                    ],\n                    \"packageName\": \"network-manager-fortisslvpn\",\n                    \"collectionURL\": \"https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/NetworkManager-fortisslvpn\",\n                    \"defaultStatus\": \"unaffected\"\n                }"}],"metrics":[{"system":"CVSS 3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","score":7.8,"severity":"HIGH"}],"references":["https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2026-91839","https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2533640","https://gitlab.gnome.org/Archive/NetworkManager-fortisslvpn/-/work_items/80"],"sourceUrl":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-91839","license":"CVE Program Terms of Use","key":"cve-program:CVE-2026-91839","identifiers":["CVE-2026-91839"]},"retained":false,"historicalAffected":[]}],"coverage":[]}
