CVE-2026-25706
Improper neutralization of special elements used in an OS command in yast2-samba-client allows an attacker who controls the content of an Active Directory directory tree - a rogue domain controller, or a directory user delegated the right to create objects - to execute arbitrary commands as root on a machine being joined to that domain. This issue affects yast2-samba-client through 5.0.4.
