CVE-2026-92709: Rsyslog is a rocket-fast system for log processing

This month

HIGH 8.1REMOTE

CVE-2026-92709 is a high-severity flaw (CVSS 8.1) affecting affected software. Below: why it ranks where it does, which versions are affected, what to do, and the exact commands.

Rsyslog is a rocket-fast system for log processing. From versions 1.15.0 to 8.2610.0, rsyslog's omfile dynaFile facility intentionally allows templates to generate flexible output paths. This supports valid deployments that route logs into different directories or use dynamically generated file names. A deployment becomes unsafe when a dynaFile template uses a value influenced by untrusted input as a path component without explicit secure-path ha

Why this priority

High severity
Remotely exploitable, no login, no user action

A fixed release or distro patch exists.
