AI-suggested

Description

CVE-2026-102829 is a critical OS command injection vulnerability in the steveukx git-js package, specifically related to the argv-parser dependency prior to version 2.0.1. The flaw allows an attacker to influence environment variables, causing Git to invoke an attacker-controlled editor during certain Git operations. This can lead to arbitrary command execution with the privileges of the Node.js process running git-js. The issue is fixed in argv-parser version 2.0.1.
