{"id":"AZL-96974","summary":"CVE-2026-53584 affecting package libgit2 for versions less than 1.7.2-3","details":"libgit2 is a portable C implementation of the Git core methods provided as a linkable library with a solid API, allowing to build Git functionality into your application. Prior to 1.8.6 and 1.9.5, libgit2 does not reject traversal components in a submodule path loaded from .gitmodules. The affected src/libgit2/submodule.c paths include git_submodule_lookup and git_submodule_add_setup. A crafted repository can specify a path such as ../escape-target, and applications that initialize the submodule can create directories outside the repository working tree. This issue is fixed in versions 1.8.6 and 1.9.5.","modified":"2026-09-19T05:33:49Z","published":"2026-08-20T19:16:54Z","upstream":["CVE-2026-53584"],"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-53584"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"libgit2","ecosystem":"Azure Linux:3","purl":"pkg:rpm/azure-linux/libgit2"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"1.7.2-3"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/microsoft/AzureLinuxVulnerabilityData/blob/main/osv/AZL-96974.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0"}
