CVE-2026-102568
Pardus Parental Control before 0.7.0 contains an incorrect authorization vulnerability in the polkit policy that allows unprivileged local users to disable parental controls as root.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.17%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
