There is no available exploit. Details info A vulnerability was found in libinput ( affected version not known ). It has been classified as critical. Affected is some unknown functionality of the component Lua Handler . The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a code injection vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-94 . The product constructs all or part of a code segment using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the syntax or behavior of the intended code segment. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. CVE summarizes: A flaw was found in libinput. A local attacker who can place a specially crafted Lua bytecode file in certain system or user configuration directories can bypass security restrictions. This allows the attacker to run unauthorized code with the same permissions as the program using libinput, such as a graphical compositor. This could lead to the attacker monitoring keyboard input and sending that information to an external location. The advisory is available at access.redhat.com . This vulnerability is traded as CVE-2026-35093 since 04/01/2026. The exploitability is told to be easy. Local access is required to approach this attack.
