Frequently Asked Questions

What is CVE-2026-4105?

A flaw was found in systemd. The systemd-machined service contains an Improper Access Control vulnerability due to insufficient validation of the class parameter in the RegisterMachine D-Bus (Desktop Bus) method. A local unprivileged user can exploit this by attempting to register a machine with a specific class value, which may leave behind a usable, attacker-controlled machine object. This allows the attacker to invoke methods on the privileged object, leading to the execution of arbitrary commands with root privileges on the host system.

Is CVE-2026-4105 actively exploited?

No confirmed active exploitation of CVE-2026-4105 has been reported, but organizations should still patch proactively.

How to fix CVE-2026-4105?

No patch is currently available. Monitor vendor advisories for updates.

What is the CVSS score for CVE-2026-4105?

CVE-2026-4105 has a CVSS v3.1 base score of 6.7 (MEDIUM).

What are the technical details?

Weaknesses (CWE)

CWE-284Improper Access Control

CWE-284 — Improper Access Control: The product does not restrict or incorrectly restricts access to a resource from an unauthorized actor.

[Architecture and Design, Operation] Very carefully manage the setting, management, and handling of privileges. Explicitly manage trust zones in the software.
[Architecture and Design] Compartmentalize the system to have "safe" areas where trust boundaries can be unambiguously drawn. Do not allow sensitive data to go outside of the trust boundary and always be careful when interfacing with a compartment outside of the safe area. Ensure that appropriate compartmentalization is built into the system design, and the compartmentalization allows for and reinforces privilege separation functionality. Architects and designers should rely on the principle of least privilege to decide the appropriate time to use privileges and the time to drop privileges.
