CVE-2026-61897: CWE-273: Improper Check for Dropped Privileges in Canonical accountsserviceCVE-2026-61897 0 CVE-2026-61897 is a local privilege escalation vulnerability in the Ubuntu-specific patch of accountsservice before version 23.13.9-8ubuntu7. The patch only partially drops privileges by changing the effective UID/GID to the target user but leaves the real UID as root (0). This allows a shell spawned by a helper script to inherit a real UID of 0 and potentially reset its effective UID to root, enabling privilege escalation.
