CVE-2026-54672

Estado: AnalizadaAlta (7.8)—

electron-updater allows for automatic updates for Electron apps. Prior to 26.15.0, AppImage targets built by app-builder-lib could use an empty path component when setting the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable at runtime. This causes the current working directory to be added to the dynamic linker search path, which may allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code by placing a malicious shared library in the directory from which the AppImage is launched. This issue has been fixed in version 26.15.0.

CVSS

Acceso local (AV:L) sin interacción (UI:N) con privilegios (PR:L) permite escalar via LD_LIBRARY_PATH vacío (T1068). El atacante coloca librería compartida maliciosa para hijacking (T1574.007) y ejecución de código arbitrario (T1059).

Inferido por nuestro agente de análisis a partir de la descripción oficial, el vector CVSS y la CWE, y comprobado por un supervisor. Puede contener errores.
