CVE-2026-61898 is an OS command injection vulnerability in Canonical's accountsservice affecting certain Ubuntu-specific language helper scripts. The vulnerability arises because these scripts treat the user-controlled LANGUAGE entry in ~/.pam_environment as trusted input and interpolate it unescaped into a GNU sed replacement expression. This allows an attacker to inject arbitrary shell commands executed with root privileges via the SetLanguage D-Bus method. The issue affects multiple specific versions of accountsservice prior to 23.13.9-8ubuntu7. The vulnerability has a high severity score of 7.8 CVSS v3.1.
