    Package        : xdg-dbus-proxy
    CVE ID         : CVE-2026-94422
    Debian Bug     : 1148782

    It was discovered that an incorrect implementation of message
    filtering in xdg-dbus-proxy allows an attacker to bypass the intended
    message filtering on the D-Bus session bus by setting a reply serial
    number on non-reply messages.

    A malicious or compromised Flatpak app could achieve arbitrary code
    execution outside its sandbox.

    If other app frameworks rely on xdg-dbus-proxy in the same way that
    Flatpak does, then they will have an equivalent vulnerability until
    xdg-dbus-proxy is updated.

    For the stable distribution (trixie), this problem has been fixed in
    version 0.1.6-1+deb13u3.

    We recommend that you upgrade your xdg-dbus-proxy packages.

    For the detailed security status of xdg-dbus-proxy please refer to
    its security tracker page at:
    https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/xdg-dbus-proxy
