CVE-2026-41046 Details
Description
A path traversal attack when using a "configName" parameter in qSnapper before version 1.3.3 allowed a local attacker to use malicious config files for snapper and so cause a denial of service or potentially escalate privileges to root.
A path traversal vulnerability has been identified in qSnapper versions prior to 1.3.3. This issue allows local attackers to manipulate the 'configName' parameter, directing qSnapper to use malicious configuration files for the underlying snapper utility. The exploitation of this vulnerability can cause a denial-of-service condition or, potentially, escalate privileges to root.
Users can update to qSnapper version 1.3.3, which addresses the path traversal vulnerability by implementing proper validation of the 'configName' parameter. This version is available through the openSUSE Tumbleweed repository.
