In other words, KAuth unintentionally causes this plugin code to run as root, which increases the severity of any possible exploitation of a plugin vulnerability.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.0","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","score":8.1},"cwes":["CWE-20"],"references":["http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-security-announce/2019-02/msg00060.html","http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-security-announce/2019-02/msg00065.html","https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1124863","https://cgit.kde.org/kauth.git/commit/?id=fc70fb0161c1b9144d26389434d34dd135cd3f4a","https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-announce%40lists.fedoraproject.org/message/DAWLQKTUQJOAPXOFWJQAQCA4LVM2P45F/"],"products":["fedoraproject:fedora","kde:kauth","opensuse:backports","opensuse:leap"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T20:56:19.218283075+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2019-7443","score":0.0235,"percentile":0.83704,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
