    Disclosure

    🚨HIGH - CUPS cups-filters serial backend arbitrary file write LPE (CVE-2026-95511) In CUPS with cups-filters, an lpadmin user can add a printer using the privileged serial backend and abuse insufficient validation of the path component in non-file device URIs, causing the root-run backend to write attacker-controlled print data to arbitrary files. This enables local priv-esc by overwriting security-sensitive CUPS config and escalating to root code execution when a root-only serial backend binary is present. 👉Affected: cups-filters + cups (serial backend enabled)

    Post summary

    The post discloses CVE‑2026‑95511, a local privilege escalation vulnerability in the CUPS serial backend that allows an lpadmin user to write arbitrary files and gain root access when a root‑only serial backend binary is present. No PoC, exploit code, patch, or evidence of active exploitation is mentioned.
