      <title>CVE-2026-5917 — libgit2 Shell Command Injection via ssh_libssh2 Backend</title>
      <link>https://vulnerability.circl.lu/vuln/cve-2026-5917</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Affected:&lt;/strong&gt; libgit2&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;libgit2 versions before 1.8.7 and 1.9.0 before 1.9.7 built with the libssh2 SSH backend (USE_SSH=libssh2) contain a shell command injection vulnerability that allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands on an SSH server by supplying a repository path containing unescaped shell metacharacters such as single quotes, semicolons, or pipes. The gen_proto() function in ssh_libssh2.c inserts the repository path directly into a shell command string without escaping special characters before passing it to libssh2_channel_exec(), enabling an attacker to craft a malicious submodule URL in a .gitmodules file that, when processed during a recursive clone, causes the remote server&amp;#39;s shell to interpret injected commands under the victim&amp;#39;s SSH user account.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
