Description

CVE-2026-121549 affects nnn through version 5.3 and involves an insecure temporary file vulnerability in the pdfread and nuke plugins. Local attackers can exploit predictable temporary file paths in /tmp to overwrite arbitrary files by pre-creating symbolic links. This vulnerability allows overwriting of files that the victim user has write access to.
