Last modified

CVE-2026-11572 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.4/10 on the CVSS scale. Versions of the package degit before 2.8.6, from 3.0.0 and before 3.3.1 are vulnerable to Command Injection due to improper sanitisation of user input for git shell commands directly invoked with exec() method by _cloneWithGit() and fetchRefs() functions. An attacker can execute arbitrary operating system commands as the process user by supplying a specially crafted git repository name.. EPSS estimates a 1.06% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
