{"id":"CVE-2026-102829","url":"https://www.cyber-defence.io/tools/cve/CVE-2026-102829","generatedAt":"2026-10-27T22:46:30.005Z","title":"simple-git, an interface for running git commands in any node.js application, enables applications to execute Git operations from JavaScript.","description":"simple-git, an interface for running git commands in any node.js application, enables applications to execute Git operations from JavaScript. Prior to 2.0.1 of the argv-parser package, parseEnv omits VISUAL from GitEnvKeys, so prepareEnv drops the value before vulnerabilityCheck can classify it as allowUnsafeEditor. A consuming application that forwards attacker-influenced environment values can therefore allow Git to invoke an attacker-selected editor during operations such as commit amendment or interactive rebase when no higher-priority editor setting overrides VISUAL and Git's terminal prerequisites are met. The executable runs with the privileges of the Node.js process. This issue is fixed in argv-parser 2.0.1.","published":"2026-09-29T19:17:25.000Z","lastModified":"2026-09-30T20:17:24.000Z","status":"Undergoing Analysis","sourceIdentifier":"security-advisories@github.com","cvss":{"version":"4.0","score":9.2,"severity":"CRITICAL","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:H/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:X/CR:X/IR:X/AR:X/MAV:X/MAC:X/MAT:X/MPR:X/MUI:X/MVC:X/M"},"cwe":["CWE-78","CWE-184"],"affected":[],"epss":{"score":0.00275,"percentile":0.19739,"date":"2026-10-26","history":[{"date":"2026-09-30","score":0.00275,"percentile":0.1795}]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":0,"verified":false,"firstPublished":null,"source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[]},"verdict":{"level":"high","text":"High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.27%).
