Linux Distros Unpatched Vulnerability : CVE-2026-41525

medium Nessus Plugin ID 310916

Synopsis

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed with a vulnerability that the vendor indicates will not be patched.

Description

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

 - KDE Dolphin before 25.12.3 allows applications in a Flatpak (or with AppArmor confinement) to open folders outside of the application sandbox without additional scrutiny. Dolphin's implementation of the FileManager1 protocol allows the path given to be any type of file, including scripts or executables. (By default, Dolphin will then prompt the user to determine if they want to launch a script or executable;
 however, the intended behavior is to block the attempted action, not present a consent prompt.) (CVE-2026-41525)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

Solution

There is no known solution at this time.
