gitoxide before 0.52.1 Repository Boundary Violation via symlinked .gitmodules
CVE-2026-82252 is fixed in rust-gix on 1 platform by DEBIAN-CVE-2026-82252 (version 0.83.0-1), released September 5, 2026. It is not reported as exploited. Patch Radar priority: High.
gitoxide before 0.52.1 follows symlinks when reading the worktree .gitmodules file, allowing attackers to inject out-of-repository bytes into submodule metadata. Attackers can create a malicious repository with a symlinked .gitmodules pointing outside the repository tree, causing gitoxide to parse arbitrary external files as submodule configuration and expose attacker-controlled name, path, and url values.
