CVE-2026-62199
When the affected feature is enabled and reachable, a lower-trust caller or configured input path can supply crafted environment variables to execute or persist actions beyond the caller's intended authorization.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.53%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
