Rsync · Rsync · CVE-2026-53790
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
rsync versions prior to 3.5.0
**Description**
Multiple command and argument injection issues allow attackers to execute arbitrary commands by providing malicious input through various code paths. These paths include the `RSYNC CONNECT PROG` environment variable, daemon hooks, the rsync-ssl wrapper, and remote-shell command newline injection. Attackers can inject shell metacharacters or newline characters into unsanitized user-supplied values, such as hostnames and hostspecs, to execute commands with the privileges of the rsync process or the invoking user.
**Recommendations**
Update to version 3.5.0 or later.
