Detailsinfo

A vulnerability, which was classified as problematic, was found in Uutils coreutils (unknown version). Affected is an unknown code block of the component id Utility. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a authorization vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-863. The product performs an authorization check when an actor attempts to access a resource or perform an action, but it does not correctly perform the check. This allows attackers to bypass intended access restrictions. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. CVE summarizes:

The id utility in uutils coreutils miscalculates the groups= section of its output. The implementation uses a user's real GID instead of their effective GID to compute the group list, leading to potentially divergent output compared to GNU coreutils. Because many scripts and automated processes rely on the output of id to make security-critical access-control or permission decisions, this discrepancy can lead to unauthorized access or security misconfigurations.

The weakness was released by Zellic. The advisory is available at github.com. This vulnerability is traded as CVE-2026-35370 since 04/02/2026. The exploitability is told to be easy. Local access is required to approach this attack. The technical details are unknown and an exploit is not available.

There is no information about possible countermeasures known. It may be suggested to replace the affected object with an alternative product.
