{"apiVersion":"1.0","identifier":"CVE-2026-53800","description":"rsync before 3.5.0 contains a symlink race condition vulnerability in the --remove-source-files feature that allows attackers with symlink creation access to cause arbitrary file deletion. Attackers can atomically substitute a symlink for a source file between transfer completion and the unlink() call, causing rsync to delete the symlink target rather than the intended source file.","publishedAt":"2026-08-13T15:19:52","lastModifiedAt":"2026-08-26T17:00:56","sourceUrl":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-53800","cvssScore":4.7,"cvssVector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","epssProbability":0.00129,"riskScore":0.48,"affectedProduct":"rsync","affectedVersions":"<3.5.0","vulnerabilityType":"Library","operatingSystems":[],"links":{"self":"https://www.redsauce.net/api/cves/CVE-2026-53800","webPages":{"es":"https://www.redsauce.net/es/cves/CVE-2026-53800","en":"https://www.redsauce.net/en/cves/CVE-2026-53800","fr":"https://www.redsauce.net/fr/cves/CVE-2026-53800","pt":"https://www.redsauce.net/pt/cves/CVE-2026-53800","de":"https://www.redsauce.net/de/cves/CVE-2026-53800","sk":"https://www.redsauce.net/sk/cves/CVE-2026-53800","el":"https://www.redsauce.net/el/cves/CVE-2026-53800"},"source":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-53800"}}
