AI-suggested

To mitigate this vulnerability, avoid querying untrusted manifest files with rpm. When handling untrusted inputs, use the '--nomanifest' option to prevent macro expansion of manifest entries. For automation workflows requiring manifest support, pre-validate manifest entries to ensure only literal paths or globs are accepted and macro syntax is rejected. These mitigations effectively prevent exploitation without requiring a patch at this time.

Description

A flaw was found in rpm. An attacker can supply a crafted manifest file that, when processed by a user or automation using `rpm -q -p` or similar manifest-processing flows, leads to arbitrary code execution. This occurs because manifest entries are unexpectedly macro-expanded before being opened, allowing embedded shell commands to run with the privileges of the `rpm` process. Successful exploitation can lead to a full compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability for the affected account.
