dulwich: Dulwich is a pure-Python implementation of the Git file formats and protocols
CVE-2026-42563 is fixed in dulwich on 1 platform by DEBIAN-CVE-2026-42563 (version 1.2.5-1), released June 29, 2026. It is not reported as exploited. Patch Radar priority: Routine.
Dulwich is a pure-Python implementation of the Git file formats and protocols. Starting in version 0.24.0 and prior to version 1.2.5, Dulwich's `ProcessMergeDriver` substitutes the file path (from the git tree, controllable by an attacker via a malicious branch) into the merge driver command via the `%P` placeholder and executes it with `subprocess.run(..., shell=True)`. An attacker who can cause a victim to merge an untrusted branch can achieve arbitrary command execution by crafting malicious file paths. Version 1.2.5 fixes the issue.
