CVE-2026-50024Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Hex-fragment disclosure via unvalidated Git reference paths

Published Sep 15, 2026 · Updated Sep 15, 2026

Path traversal in GitHacker 1.1.7 and earlier allows remote attackers to disclose local hex fragments through a malicious .git server. add_head_file_tasks joins unvalidated .git/HEAD ref segments beneath temp_dst/.git/logs and reads outside that tree, while add_hashes_parsed converts 40-character hexadecimal matches into outbound object requests. Exploitation requires a user to run the tool against the attacker's URL; only path existence and matching 40-character fragments are exposed.
