PatchTheCVECVE-2026-53759: linuxfabrik-lib provides Python modules for database access, caching, shell execution, and API integrations
CVE-2026-53759 is a low-severity flaw (CVSS 2.0) affecting affected software. Below: why it ranks where it does, which versions are affected, what to do, and the exact commands.
linuxfabrik-lib provides Python modules for database access, caching, shell execution, and API integrations. Prior to version 4.2.0, db_sqlite.py created SQLite databases at predictable paths in the shared /tmp directory and followed attacker-created symbolic links at those paths. An attacker who controls a local monitoring account can create a symlink such as /tmp/linuxfabrik-monitoring-plugins-docker-stats.db and then trigger a sudo-authorized
