{"apiVersion":"1.0","identifier":"CVE-2026-53796","description":"rsync before 3.5.0 contains a time-of-check to time-of-use (TOCTOU) race condition vulnerability in the non-daemon receiver-s destination directory handling that allows an attacker who can manipulate destination path parent components to redirect file writes to unintended locations. Attackers can substitute a symlink for a component of the destination path between the path resolution and chdir() call, causing the receiver-s working directory to be established outside the intended destination tree so that subsequent relative-path file writes land in unintended filesystem locations.","publishedAt":"2026-08-13T15:19:51","lastModifiedAt":"2026-08-14T16:16:56","sourceUrl":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-53796","cvssScore":6.3,"cvssVector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:H","epssProbability":0.00133,"riskScore":0.64,"affectedProduct":"rsync","affectedVersions":"<3.5.0","vulnerabilityType":"Library","operatingSystems":[],"links":{"self":"https://www.redsauce.net/api/cves/CVE-2026-53796","webPages":{"es":"https://www.redsauce.net/es/cves/CVE-2026-53796","en":"https://www.redsauce.net/en/cves/CVE-2026-53796","fr":"https://www.redsauce.net/fr/cves/CVE-2026-53796","pt":"https://www.redsauce.net/pt/cves/CVE-2026-53796","de":"https://www.redsauce.net/de/cves/CVE-2026-53796","sk":"https://www.redsauce.net/sk/cves/CVE-2026-53796","el":"https://www.redsauce.net/el/cves/CVE-2026-53796"},"source":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-53796"}}
