Linux Distros Unpatched Vulnerability : CVE-2026-82466

critical Nessus Plugin ID 341566

Language:

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.

 - Rodauth before 2.46.0 contains an authentication bypass vulnerability in the webauthn_login route that allows logged-in users to authenticate as any other account. Attackers can exploit improper account resolution logic that falls back to session account identifiers instead of validating the credential binding to complete authentication as arbitrary users. (CVE-2026-82466)

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

Solution

There is no known solution at this time.
