CVE-2026-35349— uutils coreutils Path-Based Safety Bypass with --preserve-root

Quick assessment

Affected
Uutils coreutils
Exploitation
No confirmed in-the-wild exploitation; assess based on exposure
Recommended action
Check the vendor advisory and references for a fixed version. If immediate upgrade is impossible, restrict exposure and increase monitoring.

uutils coreutils是Uutils开源的一个跨平台核心命令行工具集。 uutils coreutils存在后置链接漏洞，该漏洞源于rm实用程序允许绕过--preserve-root保护，实现使用路径字符串检查而非比较设备和inode号来识别根目录，攻击者或意外用户可通过使用解析为根目录的符号链接绕过此保护，可能导致意外递归删除整个根文件系统。

Vulnerability Title
uutils coreutils Path-Based Safety Bypass with --preserve-root
Source: CVE Program / CVE List V5
Vulnerability Description
A vulnerability in the rm utility of uutils coreutils allows a bypass of the --preserve-root protection. 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.
