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.","cvss_v4":{"vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:P","score":8.2},"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","score":9.8},"cwes":["CWE-94","CWE-88"],"references":["https://gist.github.com/KKC73/02d1d97f3410756095b501fda0ac8ca6","https://github.com/steveukx/git-js/commit/89a2294febed5dfe737c4c735d936bb6018746a8","https://security.snyk.io/vuln/SNYK-JAVA-ORGWEBJARSNPM-16300211","https://security.snyk.io/vuln/SNYK-JS-SIMPLEGIT-15456078","https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2026-6951"],"products":["simple-git_project:simple-git"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:33:09.003606135+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-6951","score":0.00877,"percentile":0.59045,"date":"2026-11-01"},"kev":null,"osv":[{"id":"GHSA-hffm-xvc3-vprc","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-hffm-xvc3-vprc","summary":"simple-git is vulnerable to Remote Code Execution","modified":"2026-09-10T03:51:01.912235218Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"npm","name":"simple-git","purl":"pkg:npm/simple-git","ranges":["<3.36.0"],"fixed":["3.36.0"]}]}],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
