The Project scm_url field is not validated against values that\nbegin with a dash and is stored and passed verbatim to the git SCM module.\nBecause the module runs git ls-remote with the URL as a positional argument and\nwithout a \"--\" separator, a git project URL such as \"--upload-pack=<command>:x\"\nis interpreted by git as the --upload-pack option and executed via a shell. A\nuser with permission to create or modify a project in a single organization can\nthereby execute arbitrary commands on the control-plane task pod, with output\nreflected through the project update stdout endpoint, leading to cross-tenant\ncompromise and in-cluster lateral movement","published":"2026-09-23T19:19:40.000Z","lastModified":"2026-09-24T06:17:02.000Z","status":"Awaiting Analysis","sourceIdentifier":"secalert@redhat.com","cvss":{"version":"3.1","score":9.9,"severity":"CRITICAL","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H"},"cwe":["CWE-88"],"affected":[],"epss":{"score":0.0063,"percentile":0.49981,"date":"2026-10-27","history":[{"date":"2026-09-24","score":0.00617,"percentile":0.47258}]},"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 (0.63%).
