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 Git-based version control interface for AI workflows, has a code injection vulnerability (CWE-94) in versions before 0.19.7. The flaw allows an attacker to embed a malicious link in a pull request body that, when clicked by a user with forge integration enabled, leads to arbitrary script execution within the Tauri webview component of the desktop app. This vulnerability requires user interaction and elevated privileges (limited user) but has a high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The issue is resolved in version 0.19.7.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows arbitrary script execution in the Tauri webview, potentially compromising the user's environment and data confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The vulnerability requires user interaction (clicking a malicious link) and affects only users with forge integration enabled. Users without forge integration are not at risk. There are no known exploits in the wild at this time.
Mitigation Recommendations
Upgrade GitButler to version 0.19.7 or later, where this vulnerability is fixed. Users who have not enabled forge integration are not vulnerable and do not require immediate action. Patch status is not explicitly stated in the vendor advisory, but the description confirms the issue is fixed in version 0.19.7.
