CVE-2026-102827 · Severity: high · CVSS 8.1 · Published 2026-09-29

simple-git is a Node.js library that allows JavaScript applications to execute Git commands. Versions before 4.0.0 fail to detect abbreviated Git command-line options (like --receive-pack shortened to --receive-pa), allowing attackers to bypass safety checks and inject arbitrary commands through user-controlled arguments. An attacker who can influence push or clone arguments could execute malicious code on a target system.

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

Technical details

The blockUnsafeOperationsPlugin performs literal string matching on Git options but does not account for Git's support of unambiguous long-option abbreviations. Attackers can bypass detection by using shortened forms of dangerous options like --receive-pack or --exec, reaching git push with a local/file remote or attacker-controlled receive-pack target, leading to arbitrary command execution. The vulnerability requires attacker influence over push arguments; it is fixed in version 4.0.0 through strict abbreviation blocking.
