{"schema":"threatline.record/2","record":{"id":"CVE-2026-91784","aliases":[],"summary":"Argument Injection leading to arbitrary process termination in gotop","details":"cjbassi/gotop is vulnerable to local argument injection via process termination functionality. The process name is passed directly to pkill without sanitization. A local attacker can create a process with a crafted name beginning with -- (e.g. containing a target user's UID). When the user running gotop invokes the kill feature on that process, pkill interprets the crafted name as a command-line option, terminating all processes owned by the targeted user.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nProduct is no longer actively supported and the vulnerabilities have not been fixed. Vulnerability was confirmed at version 3.0.0; other versions were not tested but may also be affected.","categories":["Unclassified"],"product":"gotop","vendor":"cjbassi","ecosystem":null,"affected_ranges":[{"source":"CVE List","source_url":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-91784","source_modified_at":"2026-10-02T17:42:17.586Z","fetched_at":"2026-10-23T18:52:38.922436Z","product":"gotop","vendor":"cjbassi","versions":[{"status":"affected","version":"3.0.0","versionType":"semver"}],"defaultStatus":"unknown"}],"fixed_versions":[],"cvss":4.8,"severity":"Medium","kev":{"listed":false},"epss":{"probability":0.00154,"percentile":0.04194,"score_date":"2026-10-23"},"published_at":"2026-10-02T08:38:42.744Z","modified_at":"2026-10-02T17:42:17.586Z","provenance":[{"source":"CVE List","url":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-91784","fetched_at":"2026-10-23T18:52:38.922436Z","source_modified_at":"2026-10-02T17:42:17.586Z"},{"source":"EPSS","url":"https://api.first.org/data/v1/epss?cve=CVE-2026-91784","fetched_at":"2026-10-23T18:42:43.628194Z","source_modified_at":"2026-10-23"}],"sources":["CVE List","EPSS"],"references":[{"source":"CVE List","url":"https://cert.pl/en/posts/2026/10/CVE-2026-91784","tags":["third-party-advisory"]},{"source":"CVE List","url":"https://github.com/cjbassi/gotop","tags":["product"]}],"locations":[],"motoko_assessment":{"status":"requires_architecture_review","automatic_remediation":false},"cve_state":"PUBLISHED","cvss_source":"CVE List","ssvc":{"exploitation":"none","automatable":"no","technical_impact":"partial","assessed_at":"2026-10-02T17:42:07.598463Z"},"classification":{"method":"product-first software-layer rules","rules_version":"2.1","matched_on":null,"confidence":"unknown","reviewed":false},"change_timestamp":"2026-10-02T17:42:17.586Z","content_hash":"7fe8e75ebca4fa7de470bd4612d4d778ade1763b3f230c1060c70f824b725683"}}
