CLEANSTART-2026-GX79451: If the PATH environment variable contains paths which are executables (rather than just directories), passing certain strings to LookPath ("", "

Q: What configuration condition makes this issue relevant?

The issue is relevant when the PATH environment variable contains executable paths rather than only directory paths. Exploitation also depends on passing certain strings to LookPath, including the strings shown in the advisory description.

Q: Can this be exploited remotely without authentication or user interaction?

The provided severity vector indicates network attackability, low attack complexity, no required privileges, and no user interaction. It also indicates low confidentiality and availability impact, with no integrity impact.

Q: What mitigation is available if patching cannot be performed immediately?

Ensure PATH contains only directory entries and does not include paths that are executable files. Review code paths that pass the affected strings to LookPath.
