CVE-2026-63478

The record

isomorphic-git is a pure JavaScript implementation of Git for Node.js and browsers. Prior to 1.38.6, isomorphic-git's tree parser in src/models/GitTree.js accepts a standalone .. tree-entry name because it rejects only path separators. During clone or checkout from a malicious or man-in-the-middle-controlled non-GitHub remote, nested .. entries can escape the working-tree root and write files at attacker-selected parent paths on any host-backed fs provider. The arbitrary file write can overwrite startup or configuration files and lead to code execution. GitHub-hosted trees are not a direct source because GitHub rejects .. entries during repository integrity checks. This issue is fixed in version 1.38.6.
