APT CVE-2026-109518 turns a routine package update into a root escalation path.

If the package source can be intercepted, the update mechanism itself becomes the attack - no phishing, no exploit chain, just a poisoned mirror.

Defence is straightforward: pin trusted repositories, verify signatures, and never let a package manager reach the network over plain HTTP.
