  "title": "gitoxide before 0.82.0 Path Traversal via Submodule Name Validation Bypass",
  "description": "gitoxide (Rust crates gix \u003C= 0.72.0 and gix-validate \u003C= 0.10.0) contains a path traversal vulnerability. The submodule name validation function in gix-validate only checks the first occurrence of \u0027..\u0027 via name.find(b\u0022..\u0022), allowing crafted names such as \u0027a..b/../../../.git/\u0027 to bypass the check; additionally this validation is never invoked in production code paths. Combined with a trust inheritance flaw in Submodule::open(), where the parent repository\u0027s git_dir_trust (Trust::Full) is cloned and the ownership verification is skipped, an attacker can craft a malicious .gitmodules file so that a victim tool built on gitoxide reads arbitrary git repository configuration (including embedded credentials) with full trust, bypassing safe-directory protections. Fixed in gix 0.82.0 and gix-validate 0.11.1.",
