{"id":"CVE-2026-44220","summary":"ciguard: discover_pipeline_files follows symlinks out of scan root","details":"ciguard is a static security auditor for CI/CD pipelines. From 0.8.0 to 0.8.1 , the discover_pipeline_files() function in src/ciguard/discovery.py walks a directory tree following symlinks, with cycle protection via tracking visited resolved paths. An attacker who can plant a symlink in a directory the user (or AI agent) scans can cause discovery to walk into the symlink target and return paths to pipeline-shaped files outside the requested root. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.8.2.","aliases":["GHSA-8cxw-cc62-q28v","PYSEC-2026-2408"],"modified":"2026-07-15T01:49:04.331360741Z","published":"2026-05-12T19:37:21.704Z","database_specific":{"cna_assigner":"GitHub_M","cwe_ids":["CWE-59"],"osv_generated_from":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/44xxx/CVE-2026-44220.json"},"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/44xxx/CVE-2026-44220.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/Jo-Jo98/ciguard/security/advisories/GHSA-8cxw-cc62-q28v"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-44220"}],"affected":[{"ranges":[{"type":"GIT","repo":"https://github.com/jo-jo98/ciguard","events":[{"introduced":"c10182da17673f2e7f43ce96c92ed58b1d4345fb"},{"fixed":"477c69aca38634bc56bf958e4ab4891cb0da92db"}],"database_specific":{"source":"AFFECTED_FIELD","extracted_events":[{"introduced":"0.8.0"},{"fixed":"0.8.2"}]}}],"versions":["v0.8.1","v0.8.0"],"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/cve-osv-conversion/osv-output/CVE-2026-44220.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.5","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:N/A:N"}]}
