Due to a semantic mismatch between POSIX environment variable specifications and Rust's strict UTF-8 validation rules, environment variables containing invalid UTF-8 byte sequences are silently omitted from printenv outputs. This allows local attackers to load and execute adversarial environment variables while remaining undetected by system administrators and automated security auditing tools.\n\n## TL;DR\nPrior to version 0.6.0, the Rust implementation of printenv silently filters out environment variables that contain invalid UTF-8 byte sequences, allowing attackers to hide malicious environmental settings from security audits.\n\n## Exploit Status: POC\n\n## Technical Details\n\n- **CWE ID**: CWE-754\n- **Attack Vector**: Local\n- **CVSS v3.1 Score**: 4.4\n- **EPSS Score**: 0.0017 (0.17%)\n- **Impact**: Defense Evasion / Inspection Bypass\n- **Exploit Status**: Proof-of-Concept Available\n- **KEV Status**: Not Listed\n\n## Affected Systems\n\n- POSIX-compliant systems using uutils coreutils printenv prior to version 0.6.0\n- Security auditing tools relying on uutils coreutils printenv outputs\n- **coreutils**: < 0.6.0 (Fixed in: `0.6.0`)\n\n## Mitigation\n\n- Upgrade uutils coreutils to version 0.6.0 or later.\n- Audit active process environment blocks using kernel-level interfaces like /proc instead of vulnerable utilities.\n- Avoid using standard Rust String types for handling operating system environment interfaces in system utilities.\n\n**Remediation Steps:**\n1. Locate systems running uutils coreutils.\n2. Update the package to version 0.6.0 or later using the appropriate system package manager or Cargo.\n3. For temporary auditing, use 'cat /proc//environ | tr \"\\0\" \"\\n\"' to securely examine environments in a raw byte format.\n\n## References\n\n- [uutils coreutils Issue #9701: printenv skips environment variables with invalid UTF-8](https://github.com/uutils/coreutils/issues/9701)\n- [uutils coreutils Release 0.6.0](https://github.com/uutils/coreutils/releases/tag/0.6.0)\n- [CVE-2026-35366 Record](https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-35366)\n- [NVD Advisory for CVE-2026-35366](https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-35366)\n\n\n---\n*Generated by [CVEReports](https://cvereports.com/reports/CVE-2026-35366) - Automated Vulnerability Intelligence*", "creation_timestamp": "2026-07-06T21:12:12.324972Z"} 2026-07-06T21:12:12.324972+00:00
