CVE-2026-6951_CVE-2026-6951

9.8 / 10

CRITICAL

CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:P

Description

Versions of the package simple-git before 3.36.0 are vulnerable to Remote Code Execution (RCE) due to an incomplete fix for [CVE-2022-25912](https://security.snyk.io/vuln/SNYK-JS-SIMPLEGIT-3112221) that blocks the -c option but not the equivalent --config form. If untrusted input can reach the options argument passed to simple-git, an attacker may still achieve remote code execution by enabling protocol.ext.allow=always and using an ext:: clone source.
