CVE-2026-28292
GHSA-r275-fr43-pm7q
simple-git has blockUnsafeOperationsPlugin bypass via case-insensitive protocol.allow config key enables RCE The `blockUnsafeOperationsPlugin` in `simple-git` fails to block git protocol override arguments when the config key is passed in uppercase or mixed case. An attacker who controls arguments passed to git operations can enable the `ext::` protocol by passing `-c PROTOCOL.ALLOW=always`, which executes an arbitrary OS command on the host machine. --- | # | Vector | Payload | Sentinel file | Result | |---|--------|---------|---------------|--------| | 1 | CVE-2022-25912 original | `protocol.ext.allow=always` (lowercase) | not created | Blocked ✅ | | 2 | Case-sensitivity bypass | `PROTOCOL.ALLOW=always` (uppercase) | `/tmp/pwn-codeant` created | **RCE ⚠️** | | 3 | Real-world app scenario | `PROTOCOL.ALLOW=always` + attacker URL | `/tmp/pwn-realworld` created | **RCE ⚠️** | The case-sensitive regex in `preventProtocolOverride` blocks `protocol.*.allow` but does not account for uppercase or mixed-case variants. Git accepts all variants identically due to case-insensitive config key normalisation, allowing full bypass of the protection in all versions of simple-git that carry the 2022 fix. `/tmp/pwned` is created by the git subprocess via the `ext::` protocol. All of the following bypass the check: | Argument passed via `-c` | Regex matches? | Git honours it? | |--------------------------|:--------------:|:---------------:| | `protocol.allow=always` | ✅ blocked | ✅ | | `PROTOCOL.ALLOW=always` | ❌ bypassed | ✅ | | `Protocol.Allow=always` | ❌ bypassed | ✅ | | `PROTOCOL.allow=always` | ❌ bypassed | ✅ | | `protocol.ALLOW=always` | ❌ bypassed | ✅ | ---
