It is not reported as exploited. Patch Radar priority: High. - Web page: https://patchblox.com/security/cve/CVE-2026-53783 - Priority: High - CVSS: 8.2 (Important) - EPSS: 0.0043 - CISA KEV: not listed - Exploited (vendor report): no - Publicly disclosed: no - Published: Aug 13, 2026 - Weakness: Improper Link Resolution Before File Access ('Link Following') - Vendor advisory: https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2026-53783 ## Description rsync before 3.5.0 contains a time-of-check to time-of-use (TOCTOU) race condition vulnerability in the rrsync restricted shell wrapper that allows authenticated clients to escape enforced directory restrictions by substituting a symlink for a path component after validation but before transfer processing. Attackers can additionally leverage unrestricted flags such as --copy-unsafe-links, -D, and --log-file through rrsync to read or write files outside the permitted directory subtree. ## Where it's
