Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Link following (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-26625)

CWE-ID: CWE-59 - Improper Link Resolution Before File Access ('Link Following')

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:P/VC:H/VI:H/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Amber


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to overwrite arbitrary files on the system.

The vulnerability exists due to an insecure link following issue. When populating a Git repository's working tree with the contents of Git LFS objects, certain Git LFS commands may write to files visible outside the current Git working tree if symbolic or hard links exist which collide with the paths of files tracked by Git LFS. A remote attacker can write arbitrary files using crafted links, leading to remote code execution. 


Remediation
