SCA: security update for @simple-git/argv-parser (GHSA-v5rq-49vh-5v5c)
critical Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 473025
Description
There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:- simple-git, an interface for running git commands in any node.js application, enables applications to
execute Git operations from JavaScript. Prior to 2.0.1 of the argv-parser package, parseEnv omits VISUAL
from GitEnvKeys, so prepareEnv drops the value before vulnerabilityCheck can classify it as
allowUnsafeEditor. A consuming application that forwards attacker-influenced environment values can
therefore allow Git to invoke an attacker-selected editor during operations such as commit amendment or
interactive rebase when no higher-priority editor setting overrides VISUAL and Git's terminal
prerequisites are met. The executable runs with the privileges of the Node.js process. This issue is fixed
in argv-parser 2.0.1. (CVE-2026-102829)
Solution
Update the @simple-git/argv-parser library and its related packages to version 2.0.1 or later.See Also
