CVE-2026-20941

⚡ A sneaky miscalculation in link handling could let authorized attackers elevate their privileges—like a janitor suddenly getting keys to the executive suite! 🔓 Imagine a hotel where the staff can access all rooms just because they followed a poorly labeled map. That’s what this vulnerability does—it lets someone go beyond their assigned role and access sensitive areas of the system, all because of weak link resolution. If exploited, this vulnerability could allow an attacker to gain higher privileges on the system, potentially leading to unauthorized access to sensitive data and system control. It’s like giving someone the ability to change the entire hotel’s reservation system without the proper clearance—absolutely devastating!
