This issue was patched in ELSA-2026-80507.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream emacs-common package and not the emacs-common package as distributed by Oracle. See How to fix? for Oracle:9 relevant fixed versions and status.

A flaw was found in Emacs TRAMP. A local attacker could exploit this vulnerability by processing maliciously crafted filenames. This occurs because TRAMP concatenates login arguments without proper sanitization, which are then passed to a local shell. Successful exploitation could lead to arbitrary code execution.
