Linux Distros Unpatched Vulnerability : CVE-2026-45570

low Nessus Plugin ID 317362

Synopsis

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed with a vulnerability that the vendor indicates will not be patched.

Description

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

 - go-git is an extensible git implementation library written in pure Go. Prior to 5.19.1 and 6.0.0-alpha.4, go-git's SSH transport constructs the remote exec command by wrapping the repository path in single quotes without escaping single quotes embedded inside the path. A repository path containing a single quote can therefore break out of the quoted region in the exec command and be appended as additional shell tokens.
 This vulnerability is fixed in 5.19.1 and 6.0.0-alpha.4. (CVE-2026-45570)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

Solution

There is no known solution at this time.
