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.

What the metrics mean

  • It is reachable over a network, without needing local access.
  • For an attacker who can reach it, exploitation depends on conditions outside the attacker's control.
  • To exploit it, no account is needed.
  • Beyond that, someone has to be persuaded to take an action first.
