CVE-2026-35093
Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.
Description
A flaw was found in libinput. A local attacker who can place a specially crafted Lua bytecode file in certain system or user configuration directories can bypass security restrictions. This allows the attacker to run unauthorized code with the same permissions as the program using libinput, such as a graphical compositor. This could lead to the attacker monitoring keyboard input and sending that information to an external location.

"value": "Se encontró una vulnerabilidad en libinput. Un atacante local que puede colocar un archivo de bytecode Lua especialmente diseñado en ciertos directorios de configuración del sistema o del usuario puede eludir las restricciones de seguridad. Esto permite al atacante ejecutar código no autorizado con los mismos permisos que el programa que utiliza libinput, como un compositor gráfico. Esto podría llevar a que el atacante monitoree la entrada del teclado y al envío de esa información a una ubicación externa."
