@tinacms/cli (npm) <= 2.7.0, SEMVER:introduced=0,fixed=3.0.0; TinaCMS @Tinacms/Cli <unknown.

How is CVE-2026-108259 attacked?

It is attacked over the network, in a software library.

Am I affected by CVE-2026-108259?

Check whether you run @tinacms/cli (npm) or TinaCMS @Tinacms/Cli at an affected version. Junglewise does that check for you around the clock: connect your code, cloud and domains, and it matches new vulnerabilities like this one against what you actually run and tells you when one reaches you.

CVE-2026-108259: TinaCMS CLI code injection via unescaped Git branch name

Q: Which products and versions are affected?

@tinacms/cli (npm) <= 2.7.0, SEMVER:introduced=0,fixed=3.0.0; TinaCMS @Tinacms/Cli <unknown.

Q: Is there a fix for CVE-2026-108259?

Yes. @tinacms/cli (npm): upgrade to 3.0.0 or later. Until then: Apply JSON.stringify() or encodeURIComponent() to all runtime values (branch name, API URL, token) before interpolating them into generated source templates. Move runtime configuration out of source templates and into a JSON config file that the generated client reads at initialization instead. Junglewise finds every place you run it, drafts the upgrade and applies it once you approve.

CVE-2026-108259 · Severity: high · CVSS 8.2 · Published 2026-10-09

TinaCMS is a headless CMS that generates client code during builds. A malicious Git branch name can inject arbitrary JavaScript code into the generated client module, which executes with full build-process privileges when the consumer build imports the module. An attacker can exploit this by creating a pull request with a crafted branch name to compromise build environment variables, secrets, and deployment artifacts.

Technologies: @tinacms/cli (npm). Vendors: npm, TinaCMS.

How to fix

@tinacms/cli (npm): upgrade to 3.0.0 or later
```
npm install @tinacms/cli@3.0.0
```

Apply JSON.stringify() or encodeURIComponent() to all runtime values (branch name, API URL, token) before interpolating them into generated source templates. Move runtime configuration out of source templates and into a JSON config file that the generated client reads at initialization instead.

Technical details

The vulnerability is a code injection flaw in @tinacms/cli's code generation pipeline. The package reads a Git branch name (from VERCEL_GIT_COMMIT_REF, GITHUB_BRANCH, or HEAD) and concatenates it unsanitized into an API URL, then interpolates that URL into a JavaScript string literal in the generated client.ts template without escaping or encoding. A branch name containing a single quote and JavaScript expression (e.g., x'+(code)+'`) closes the string literal and injects executable code that runs during build at module load time. Attack preconditions: attacker ability to create a PR/branch that triggers a build, and codegen enabled (default).
