CVE-2026-44933: Suse Opensuse

High severity, CVSS 7.8. EPSS: 0.2% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

`PluginScript` attempts to `chroot` the plugin to the `repoManagerRoot`, this root is frequently `/` (the system root) in standard configurations or when using `--root`. If the chroot target is `/`, it is a no-op, allowing the traversed path to execute host binaries (like `/bin/bash`) with root privileges.

Affected products

• Suse Opensuse: from 17.38.8, before 17.38.9 (fixed in 17.38.9)
• Suse Suse Linux Enterprise: from 17.38.8, before 17.38.9 (fixed in 17.38.9)
