CVE-2026-5674

HIGH

8.8

CVSS v3

Description

A flaw was found in PipeWire, a multimedia server. This vulnerability allows an attacker to escape sandboxed applications, such as Flatpak, by exploiting PipeWire's PulseAudio compatibility layer. An attacker with minimal permissions within a sandboxed environment can load a malicious library, leading to arbitrary code execution outside the sandbox and potential compromise of the user's system.

Common questions

How do I fix CVE-2026-5674?

Published advisories record a fix for 48 affected products. The "How to fix" section on this page lists the fixed version and source advisory for each one, so apply the entry matching what you actually run.

Is CVE-2026-5674 being actively exploited?

Not that we know of. CVE-2026-5674 is not in the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog. Its EPSS score of 0.21% is the estimated probability that it will be exploited in the next 30 days. That is higher than 11% of all scored CVEs.

How severe is CVE-2026-5674?

CVE-2026-5674 has a CVSS v3 base score of 8.8, rated high. CVSS rates the technical impact if the vulnerability is exploited, not how likely that is, so weigh it alongside the exploit-prediction score when you decide what to patch first.

What does CVE-2026-5674 affect?

Published advisories record a fix for pipewire (Rocky), pipewire (Red Hat / RHEL), pipewire-alsa (Rocky), pipewire-alsa (Red Hat / RHEL), and 44 more. Only products with a sourced advisory are listed, so treat this as what we can cite rather than a complete inventory.
