CVE-2026-45261: CWE-94: Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection') in gitbutlerapp gitbutler
GitButler is a modern Git-based version control interface for AI-powered workflows. Prior to 0.19.7, a emote code execution vulnerability exists in the Tauri-based GitButler desktop application. An attacker can inject a malicious link in a pull request body, which if clicked by the user allows for arbitrary script execution in the Tauri webview. Users that have not enabled forge integration are not at risk. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.19.7.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
GitButler, a Tauri-based Git interface for AI workflows, contained a code injection vulnerability (CWE-94) prior to version 0.19.7. An attacker could embed a malicious link in a pull request body that, upon user interaction, executes arbitrary scripts in the application's webview context. This vulnerability requires user interaction and forge integration to be enabled. The issue is resolved in version 0.19.7.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code within the GitButler desktop application's webview, potentially compromising the user's environment. The vulnerability requires user interaction (clicking the malicious link) and only affects users with forge integration enabled. This could lead to high-impact consequences given the CVSS 9.3 score, including code execution and potential system compromise.
Mitigation Recommendations
Users should upgrade GitButler to version 0.19.7 or later, where this vulnerability is fixed. Users who have not enabled forge integration are not at risk. No other mitigation steps are indicated by the vendor advisory. Patch status is not explicitly stated but the fix is included in version 0.19.7.
