Description

CVE-2026-65612 is an OS command injection vulnerability in nnn version 5.2. The software does not sanitize filenames, allowing an attacker to craft a malicious filename containing shell syntax. When a user previews such a file, the embedded shell command executes the injected payload with the privileges of the nnn process.
