FKIE_CVE-2026-75912

Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2026-08-18 16:18 - Updated: 2026-08-19 15:18
Severity
7.4 (High) - CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:N/A:N
Summary
CodeWhale versions before 0.8.64 contain an argument injection vulnerability in the git_blame tool that allows attackers to read arbitrary files by injecting git options into the unvalidated rev parameter. Attackers can supply rev values like --contents=/path/to/file to exfiltrate sensitive files such as SSH keys and credentials through the tool output returned to the model.
