Moderate: environment-modules security update
The environment-modules packages provide dynamic modification of user environment using module files. Each module file contains the information needed to configure the shell for an application. Once the package is initialized, the environment can be modified on a per-module basis using the "module" utility, which interprets module files. Security Fix(es): * environment-modules: Command injection in environment-modules Bash completion via malicious module names containing shell metacharacters (CVE-2026-85013) For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.
