CVE-2026-44076 Details
Description
Insufficient sanitization of volume paths in Netatalk 3.1.0 through 4.4.2 allows a local privileged user to inject OS commands and execute arbitrary code via a crafted volume path.
A shell injection vulnerability has been identified in Netatalk versions 3.1.0 prior to 4.4.2. The issue arises because administrator-configured volume paths are embedded in shell commands without proper handling of quoting, potentially allowing command execution during service startup or reconfiguration. This vulnerability is not remotely exploitable through the Apple Filing Protocol (AFP) alone.
Users can upgrade to Netatalk version 4.4.3 or later, which includes the necessary patch. Alternatively, the patch can be applied to a Netatalk 4.4.2 source tree. Netatalk administrators are advised to restrict write access to configuration files and avoid using paths with shell metacharacters until the vulnerability is patched.
