A local attacker can exploit this vulnerability by placing a maliciously named modulefile in a location visible to the victim's `MODULEPATH`. When the victim uses Bash completion for `module` or `ml` commands, the malicious module name, containing shell metacharacters, is evaluated as a command. This can lead to arbitrary command execution in the completing user's shell, impacting their confidentiality, integrity, and availability.\n\n## Remediation\n\nRefer to the linked advisories for vendor-supplied fixes and affected version ranges.\n\n## Vendor advisories\n\n- **Red Hat VEX** · Moderate · affected: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 · no fix planned: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8, … · updated 2026-09-21 · [vex](https://security.access.redhat.com/data/csaf/v2/vex/2026/cve-2026-85013.json)\n- **RHSA-2026:64766** · Red Hat · fixed in: Red Hat Hardened Images · released 2026-09-07 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:64766)","depth":"midnight","depthScore":52,"depthScoreParts":{"impact":40.2,"likelihood":0,"exploitation":12,"ransomware":0},"changes":[{"seq":204333,"id":"CVE-2026-85013","ts":1789494097009,"field":"exploit_available","old":"false","new":"true"}]}
