CVE-2026-71557

CVE-2026-71557 affects the go-git library (pure Go). The vulnerability occurs when reference names are not sanitized before being used to build on-disk paths under the reference storage directory, allowing malicious reference names (e.g., containing directory traversal sequences) to cause writes ...

go-git: Worktree operations may follow symlinks

Impact A symlink traversal issue in go-git could allow worktree operations to modify files outside the intended worktree path. The worktreeFilesystem wrapper rejected dangerous path strings, including paths containing .git, parent-directory components, or control characters. However, it did not...
