AI-suggested

Red Hat advises mitigating this issue by using libostree repositories such as Flathub or unauthenticated (public) OCI repositories. Monitor the Red Hat advisory for any updates regarding patches or fixes.

Description

CVE-2026-97025 is a vulnerability in Flatpak on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10 where the OCI repository authentication token is written with world-readable permissions (0644) in the system-helper's cache directory. This allows other local users on a multi-user system to read the token and impersonate the authenticated user against the OCI repository. Only OCI-based sources are affected; libostree-based sources such as Flathub are not impacted.
