CVE-2026-91986
gitoxide gix-transport before 0.59.2 fails to filter control characters in git-daemon connect requests, allowing attackers to inject NUL/CR/…
gitoxide gix-transport before 0.59.2 fails to filter control characters in git-daemon connect requests, allowing attackers to inject NUL/CR/LF bytes via crafted git URLs. Attackers can inject extra NUL-delimited protocol fields to spoof virtual hosts or inject newlines into daemon requests and logs.
Why it matters
- ▸ Remotely exploitable over the network — no physical or local access required
- ▸ Low attack complexity — no special conditions needed to exploit
- ▸ No authentication required
- ▸ Requires the victim to take an action (e.g. open a file or link)
Apply the vendor patch as soon as it's available or already released. User-awareness training reduces risk here, since exploitation depends on tricking a user into acting.
This analysis is generated from structured CVSS vector data, CISA KEV cross-referencing, and vendor/product category rules — not a manual expert review. Treat it as a starting point, not a substitute for your own assessment.
