CVE-2026-65612

nnn does not sanitize the filename variable. An attacker can place a file with a crafted name on a shared filesystem, removable media, or inside an extracted archive whose name contains a single quote followed by shell syntax. If the victim navigates
to that file and opens it with preview-tabbed, the filename is embedded into the generated shell command and the injected payload executes with the privileges of the nnn process.
