Systemd: systemd: privilege escalation via improper access control in registermachine d-bus method
CVE-2026-4105 is fixed in 2 products on 1 platform, first by DEBIAN-CVE-2026-4105, released March 13, 2026. It is not reported as exploited. Patch Radar priority: Routine.
A flaw was found in systemd. The systemd-machined service contains an Improper Access Control vulnerability due to insufficient validation of the class parameter in the RegisterMachine D-Bus (Desktop Bus) method. A local unprivileged user can exploit this by attempting to register a machine with a specific class value, which may leave behind a usable, attacker-controlled machine object. This allows the attacker to invoke methods on the privileged object, leading to the execution of arbitrary commands with root privileges on the host system.
