CVE-2026-41045
A time-to-check-time-of-use in polkit authentication of qSnapper before version 1.3.3 allowed a local attacker to bypass qSnappers authentication mechanism and operate e.g. as root user.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.16%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
