"It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2023-2026-3152 advisory.

    When use-git-am: true is enabled for a patch source, flatpak-builder invokes git am without disabling git
    hooks. A malicious source can include a post-applypatch hook, which will be executed automatically when a
    patch with use-git-am: true is applied. Since git itself runs unsandboxed in host context at this stage,
    the hook is executed with host privileges, allowing arbitrary code execution on the host. (CVE-2026-86320)
