CVE-2026-59703: repomix - Local File Inclusion via file:// URL Scheme in Git Clone Endpoint
Advisory generated from the CVE record, CISA, Exploit Observer and VEDAS: what it is, whether it is exploited, who is affected, and how to fix and detect it.
Generated by VEDAS. Scores as of 2026-11-04 15:41 UTC. Rebuilt every few hours from cve-scores, CISA KEV and vedas-signatures. How this works and its limits.
What it is
repomix contains a local file inclusion vulnerability in the git clone endpoint that allows unauthenticated attackers to read arbitrary local git repositories. The isValidRemoteValue function in src/core/git/gitRemoteParse.ts fails to block file:// URLs, permitting attackers to supply file:// scheme URLs that bypass validation and are passed directly to git clone, enabling unauthorized access to all tracked file contents on the server filesystem.
Description quoted from the CVE record (assigned by VulnCheck, published 2026-07-08).
