Description
CVE-2026-53980 is a path traversal vulnerability in charmbracelet wish before version 2.0.5. It affects the git middleware component, allowing authenticated SSH users to escape the intended repository directory by supplying crafted repository paths. The flaw is due to a bypass of a forward-slash-count containment check, enabling attackers to read or write arbitrary repositories outside the configured root directory.
