{"apiVersion":"1.0","identifier":"CVE-2026-82253","description":"gitoxide (Rust crates gix <= 0.72.0 and gix-validate <= 0.10.0) contains a path traversal vulnerability. The submodule name validation function in gix-validate only checks the first occurrence of -..- via name.find(b-..-), allowing crafted names such as -a..b/../../../.git/- to bypass the check; additionally this validation is never invoked in production code paths. Combined with a trust inheritance flaw in Submodule::open(), where the parent repository-s git_dir_trust (Trust::Full) is cloned and the ownership verification is skipped, an attacker can craft a malicious .gitmodules file so that a victim tool built on gitoxide reads arbitrary git repository configuration (including embedded credentials) with full trust, bypassing safe-directory protections. Fixed in gix 0.82.0 and gix-validate 0.11.1.","publishedAt":"2026-08-28T12:16:38","lastModifiedAt":"2026-08-28T12:16:38","sourceUrl":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-82253","cvssScore":7.5,"cvssVector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N","epssProbability":0,"riskScore":0.75,"affectedProduct":"gitoxide","affectedVersions":"<0.82.0","vulnerabilityType":"Library","operatingSystems":[],"links":{"self":"https://www.redsauce.net/api/cves/CVE-2026-82253","webPages":{"es":"https://www.redsauce.net/es/cves/CVE-2026-82253","en":"https://www.redsauce.net/en/cves/CVE-2026-82253","fr":"https://www.redsauce.net/fr/cves/CVE-2026-82253","pt":"https://www.redsauce.net/pt/cves/CVE-2026-82253","de":"https://www.redsauce.net/de/cves/CVE-2026-82253","sk":"https://www.redsauce.net/sk/cves/CVE-2026-82253","el":"https://www.redsauce.net/el/cves/CVE-2026-82253"},"source":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-82253"}}
