{"id":"CVE-2026-34990","summary":"OpenPrinting CUPS: Local print admin token disclosure using temporary printers","details":"OpenPrinting CUPS is an open source printing system for Linux and other Unix-like operating systems. In versions 2.4.16 and prior, a local unprivileged user can coerce cupsd into authenticating to an attacker-controlled localhost IPP service with a reusable Authorization: Local ... token. That token is enough to drive /admin/ requests on localhost, and the attacker can combine CUPS-Create-Local-Printer with printer-is-shared=true to persist a file:///... queue even though the normal FileDevice policy rejects such URIs. Printing to that queue gives an arbitrary root file overwrite; the PoC below uses that primitive to drop a sudoers fragment and demonstrate root command execution. At time of publication, there are no publicly available patches.","aliases":["GHSA-c54j-2vqw-wpwp"],"modified":"2026-04-17T09:14:07.719667293Z","published":"2026-04-03T21:14:09.616Z","related":["SUSE-SU-2026:1399-1"],"database_specific":{"cwe_ids":["CWE-287"],"cna_assigner":"GitHub_M","osv_generated_from":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/34xxx/CVE-2026-34990.json"},"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/34xxx/CVE-2026-34990.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/OpenPrinting/cups/security/advisories/GHSA-c54j-2vqw-wpwp"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-34990"}],"affected":[{"ranges":[{"type":"GIT","repo":"https://github.com/openprinting/cups","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"last_affected":"7523763f00d2063f88026d93bc5b29806240de2b"}],"database_specific":{"extracted_events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"last_affected":"2.4.16"}],"source":"AFFECTED_FIELD"}}],"versions":["v2.2.0","v2.2.1","v2.2.2","v2.2.3","v2.2.4","v2.2.5","v2.2.6","v2.2b1","v2.2b2","v2.2rc1","v2.3.0","v2.3.1","v2.3.3","v2.3.3op1","v2.3.3op2","v2.3b1","v2.3b2","v2.3b3","v2.3b4","v2.3b5","v2.3b6","v2.3b7","v2.3b8","v2.3rc1","v2.4.0","v2.4.1","v2.4.10","v2.4.11","v2.4.12","v2.4.13","v2.4.14","v2.4.15","v2.4.16","v2.4.2","v2.4.3","v2.4.4","v2.4.5","v2.4.6","v2.4.7","v2.4.8","v2.4.9","v2.4b1","v2.4rc1"],"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/osv-test-cve-osv-conversion/osv-output/CVE-2026-34990.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.5","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V4","score":"CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:P/PR:L/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:N/SC:H/SI:H/SA:L"}]}
