CVE-2026-50265 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
There is no fixed version for libinput/libinput.
Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Command Injection via the libinput-device-group helper process. An attacker can execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges by injecting crafted udev properties, such as REMOVE_CMD, which are executed when a device is removed. This is only exploitable if the attacker has access to /dev/uinput.
Workaround
This vulnerability can be mitigated by restricting access to /dev/uinput to trusted users only.
