What is CVE-2026-41049?

The qSnapper dbus service has a vulnerability that arises from incorrect caching of authentication, allowing local attackers to exploit dbus functions after a privileged user has authenticated. This poses a significant security risk as it can enable unauthorized actions by an attacker leveraging the credentials of already authenticated users. Users are urged to update to version 1.3.3 or later to mitigate this risk.

Affected Version(s)

qSnapper 1.2.1 < 1.3.3
