CVE-2026-102826 · Severity: high · CVSS 8.1 · Published 2026-09-29

simple-git is a Node.js library that allows JavaScript applications to run Git commands programmatically. Versions before 4.0.0 have a security flaw in their configuration validation that allows attackers to inject malicious Git configuration files through custom arguments passed to the clone operation. A loaded malicious configuration can execute arbitrary commands with the privileges of the Node.js process, enabling remote code execution if the application passes unsanitized user input.

Technologies: simple-git (npm), Steveukx Simple-Git. Vendors: npm, Steveukx.

How to fix

```
npm install simple-git@4.0.0
```

Technical details

The blockUnsafeOperationsPlugin fails to completely reject include.path and includeIf.<condition>.path configuration options supplied through customArgs to git.clone(), allowing Git to load attacker-controlled configuration files. These configuration files can specify executable Git options like core.sshCommand that are invoked during clone operations with Node.js process privileges. Exploitation requires both attacker-influenced custom arguments and an attacker-controlled file readable by the process; the vulnerability is fixed in version 4.0.0.

Affected products
