CVE-2026-65610 is a numeric truncation vulnerability in the nnn file manager. nnn stores the HOME path length in the uchar_t variable homelen, which represents only values from 0 through 255. A HOME value with a length that truncates to zero causes the homelen - 1 expression to be promoted to signed int and evaluate to -1. This results in an out-of-bounds read and an out-of-bounds write one byte before the relevant path buffer. nnn version 5.2 is confirmed affected; a complete vulnerable-version range is not available.
