- A flaw was found in Nautilus. When a removable drive or disk image is unmounted or ejected, Nautilus
prompts the user to empty the trash without verifying whether the trash directory paths are symbolic
links. An attacker can exploit this flaw by tricking a user into mounting a crafted storage volume and
confirming the prompt to empty the trash, leading to the arbitrary deletion of files accessible to that
user. (CVE-2026-111802)
