CVE intelligence and bounded remediation

CVE-2026-59703 — repomix security vulnerability

High CVSS 8.7

repomix contains a local file inclusion vulnerability in the git clone endpoint that allows unauthenticated attackers to read arbitrary local git repositories. The isValidRemoteValue function in src/core/git/gitRemoteParse.ts fails to block file:// URLs, permitting attackers to supply file:// scheme URLs that bypass validation and are passed directly to git clone, enabling unauthorized access to all tracked file contents on the server filesystem.

Matched remediation archetype

General vulnerability remediation

This catalog composition supplies bounded fallback guidance. Explicitly reviewed curated workflows load with the complete record below.

Check exposure

  • Confirm the affected component, deployment paths, reachable interfaces, and enabled features from inventories and configuration, without probing production destructively.
  • Compare the advisory's affected conditions with the repository lockfiles, build manifests, artifacts, and runtime inventory.
  • Identify data sensitivity, trust boundaries, and privilege level for every confirmed affected deployment.

Remediate safely

  • Apply a vendor-supported fix or remove the affected component or feature; record the selected change and its source in the repository.
  • Update direct and transitive dependency locks, generated artifacts, deployment manifests, and asset inventories together.
  • Add a regression test for the documented unsafe condition using inert inputs and preserve rollback instructions.
