CVE-2026-91202— Cockpit-files: cockpit-files: arbitrary file ownership change via symlink following in privileged paste

Quick assessment

Affected
Red Hat Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10
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.

在 cockpit-files 中发现了缺陷。低权限的本地用户可以通过构造一个包含符号链接（symlink）的目录，并利用具有权限的“以所有者身份粘贴”功能来利用此漏洞。这可能导致在目标粘贴目录之外发生任意文件所有权的变更，从而导致数据完整性受到破坏。在某些情况下，如果新的所有权授予了未经授权的读取权限，还可能导致机密性降低。利用该漏洞需要在粘贴操作期间由用户交互选择非原始所有者。

Vulnerability Title
Cockpit-files: cockpit-files: arbitrary file ownership change via symlink following in privileged paste
Source: CVE Program / CVE List V5
Vulnerability Description
A flaw was found in cockpit-files. A low-privileged local user can exploit this vulnerability by crafting a directory containing a symbolic link (symlink) and then using the privileged "Paste as owner" function. This allows for arbitrary file ownership changes outside the intended pasted directory, leading to a compromise of data integrity. In some cases, this could also lead to reduced confidentiality if the new ownership grants unauthorized read access. Exploitation requires user interaction to select a non-original owner during the paste operation.
