Parallels Desktop Flaw Lets Unprivileged Mac Users Gain Root Access
JFrog's 'ParaShells' research details CVE-2026-90894, a Parallels Desktop local privilege escalation letting unprivileged macOS users gain root via tar argument injection.
JFrog researcher Yuval Moravchick disclosed CVE-2026-90894 ('ParaShells'), a critical local privilege escalation flaw demonstrated against Parallels Desktop 26.4.0 build 57513 on Apple silicon. The world-writable /var/run/prl_disp_service.socket accepts connections from unsigned clients, and argument injection into a tar extraction command via the --use-compress-program option executes attacker-controlled code with root privileges. The attack needs no administrator permissions, running VM, or Parallels-signed client, and a one-line PoC yielded a root shell. Risk is highest on developer workstations, shared training systems, and enterprise Macs.

Parallels Desktop Vulnerability Lets Non-Admin Mac Users Execute Code as Root
JFrog researchers disclosed CVE-2026-90894, a critical Parallels Desktop local privilege escalation letting non-admin Mac users execute code as root; fixed in 27.0.0.
JFrog researchers found that Parallels Desktop's privileged prl_disp_service daemon on macOS accepts unsigned local clients through a world-writable socket and allows argument injection into a tar command during appliance installation. Injecting the --use-compress-program option makes tar execute an attacker-controlled program as root, and a one-line proof of concept yielded a root shell without needing a running virtual machine. The flaw, dubbed ParaShells, was confirmed in Parallels Desktop 26.4.0 build 57513 on Apple Silicon and is fixed in version 27.0.0. No exploitation in the wild has been reported; administrators should inventory and upgrade affected installations and restrict local account access.

Jellyfin 12.0 security fixes arrive alongside the removal of legacy client logins
Jellyfin 12.0 ships security fixes for path traversal, first-run setup bypass, unsafe plugin names, and web client XSS, plus removal of legacy login paths.
Jellyfin 12.0 blocks requests built to reach files outside served folders, prevents setup-wizard re-runs on misconfigured servers, rejects unsafe plugin package names, and fixes web client cross-site scripting. The project published no CVE identifiers or severity ratings for the fixes. The release also drops legacy /emby/ and /mediabrowser/ endpoints, targets .NET 10, and breaks 10.11-era third-party plugins.
