CVE-2026-82255: Insufficiently Protected Credentials in GitoxideLabs gitoxide
Description
gitoxide versions from 0.25.4 contain an HTTP credential leak vulnerability in the curl-based transport backend where credentials are sent to attacker-controlled servers after HTTP redirects. The vulnerability occurs because credential validation checks the original URL instead of the effective URL after redirect, allowing attackers to steal authentication tokens through cross-domain redirects or HTTPS-to-HTTP downgrades.

Technical Analysis
CVE-2026-82255 affects gitoxide versions >=0.25.4 and <=0.55.0. The vulnerability is an HTTP credential leak in the curl-based transport backend. It occurs because the software validates credentials against the original URL instead of the effective URL after HTTP redirects. This flaw enables attackers to steal authentication tokens by exploiting cross-domain redirects or downgrades from HTTPS to HTTP.
Potential Impact
An attacker can steal authentication tokens by tricking the client into following HTTP redirects to attacker-controlled servers. This compromises credential confidentiality and can lead to unauthorized access if the stolen tokens are reused.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is available, avoid using vulnerable versions or mitigate risks by restricting redirects and carefully validating URLs in transport configurations.
