NVD description
A flaw was found in rpm. An attacker can supply a crafted manifest file that, when processed by a user or automation using `rpm -q -p` or similar manifest-processing flows, leads to arbitrary code execution. This occurs because manifest entries are unexpectedly macro-expanded before being opened, allowing embedded shell commands to run with the privileges of the `rpm` process. Successful exploitation can lead to a full compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability for the affected account.

🚨High - rpm Code Execution via Manifest Macro Expansion (CVE-2026-95519) rpm processes crafted manifest files via rpm -q -p (and similar query/manifest flows) where manifest entries are macro-expanded before open(), allowing embedded shell commands to execute with rpm’s privileges. This yields arbitrary code execution impacting CIA. 👉Affected: rpm (versions TBD)
