Loading vulnerability…
CVE-2026-41046 is a local path traversal vulnerability in qSnapper before version 1.3.3. The flaw affects D-Bus methods that accept the configName parameter and pass it to libsnapper without sufficient validation. By supplying traversal sequences, a local attacker can cause qSnapper’s privileged root D-Bus service to load attacker-chosen configuration files instead of restricting access to the intended Snapper configuration directory. Because the service runs with root privileges, this can be used to direct libsnapper to parse crafted configuration content, special files, or other unintended filesystem targets. The issue also affects the WriteSnapperConfig method, which can be abused through the same traversal weakness to write largely attacker-controlled configuration data to unintended locations. The vulnerability can result in denial of service, information disclosure, and in some exploit chains contribute to local privilege escalation to root.

A path traversal vulnerability in qsnapper via the `config` parameter.
A path traversal vulnerability in qSnapper D-Bus methods that accept configName, allowing arbitrary configuration files to be supplied to libsnapper and enabling arbitrary file write, DoS, and information leak scenarios; combined with the Polkit bypass it can lead to full local root compromise.
