CVE-2026-82255
Published:August 28, 2026
Updated:September 24, 2026
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.
Affected Packages
gix-transport (RUST):
Affected version(s) >=0.25.4 <0.56.0
