WS-2022-0086
Date: August 19, 2025
GitHub CLI depends on a git.exe executable being found in system %PATH% on Windows. However, if a malicious .\git.exe or .\git.bat is found in the current working directory at the time of running gh, the malicious command will be invoked instead of the system one. Other than avoiding untrusted repositories, there is no workaround. Windows users who run gh inside untrusted directories are affected. Users should upgrade to GitHub CLI v1.2.1.
