CVE-2026-59260 is a vulnerability in OpenWrt's LuCI component, specifically luci-app-samba4, where a read ACL improperly grants execution permission on the Samba daemon. This allows authenticated delegated users to invoke smbd with attacker-controlled command-line arguments. By supplying arbitrary Samba global options, including options such as message command, an attacker can influence the behavior of a root-owned smbd process and trigger command execution when SMB protocol messages are processed. The flaw is an improper privilege management issue that exposes a privileged executable to lower-privileged authenticated users in a way that enables escalation to root-level code execution.
