# CVE-2026-35350

## Summary

- **CVE ID:** CVE-2026-35350
- **Severity:** MEDIUM
- **CVSS Score:** 6.6 (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:H/A:L)
- **CWE:** CWE-281
- **Published:** Apr 22, 2026
- **Last Modified:** Apr 22, 2026

## Description

The cp utility in uutils coreutils fails to properly handle setuid and setgid bits when ownership preservation fails. When copying with the -p (preserve) flag, the utility applies the source mode bits even if the chown operation is unsuccessful. This can result in a user-owned copy retaining original privileged bits, creating unexpected privileged executables that violate local security policies. This differs from GNU cp, which clears these bits when ownership cannot be preserved.
