Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Prototype pollution (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-89011)

CWE-ID: CWE-1321 - Improperly Controlled Modification of Object Prototype Attributes (\'Prototype Pollution\')

CVSSv4: 6.8 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:H/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to pollute shared object prototypes, redirect subsequent Git requests, and steal authentication credentials.

The vulnerability exists due to prototype pollution in isomorphic-git's getRemoteInfo when unvalidated server-advertised ref segments traverse inherited properties of plain objects. A remote attacker can advertise "http://attacker/proxy __proto__/corsProxy", induce a victim to query the malicious repository, and issue a 401 challenge through the injected proxy during subsequent requests to capture credentials supplied by onAuth.
