Score 2.5 from GitHub Security Advisory (severity: LOW) published 2026-04-22. NVD baseline CVSS 2.5; sources differ by 0.0.
A flaw was found in nano. In environments with permissive umask settings, a local attacker can exploit incorrect directory permissions (0777 instead of 0700) for the ~/.local directory. This allows the attacker to inject a malicious .desktop launcher, which could lead to unintended actions or information disclosure if the launcher is subsequently processed.
