Improper Neutralization of Argument Delimiters in a Command in GitPython - CVE-2026-87818

Vulnerability identifier: #VU145799

CSH Severity: Low

CVSS v4: 7.1 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]

CVE-ID: CVE-2026-87818

CWE-ID: CWE-88

Exploitation vector: Remote access

Exploit availability: No public exploit available

The vulnerability allows a remote user to disclose sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to improper neutralization of argument delimiters in the high-level diff API when processing attacker-influenced diff options and path operands with --no-index and --ignore-matching-lines. A remote user can send crafted diff options and filesystem path operands to disclose sensitive information.

Exploitation requires an embedding application to expose a distinguishable success or error result and to allow repeated requests.
