git-diff: OS command injection vulnerability via crafted strings to the gitDiff API

CVE-2026-110634GHSA-6wfj-92cw-88vg

What to do

Vendor fix available. Upgrade each affected package to the fixed version on its release line (git-diff 2.0.7), redeploy, then verify what is actually installed.

This page has no inventory attached, so it cannot say whether you are affected. A vendor fix is not proof that your deployment is fixed.

Source description

As published by the source; long descriptions are shortened.

git-diff before 2.0.7 contains an OS command injection vulnerability that allows attackers to execute shell commands by supplying crafted strings to the gitDiff API. Attackers who control a diffed document string can embed $(cmd) or backtick substitutions that shelljs.exec evaluates, running commands with Node.js process privileges.

# Patch Next advisory brief: CVE-2026-110634

Advisory: git-diff: OS command injection vulnerability via crafted strings to the gitDiff API
IDs: CVE-2026-110634, GHSA-6wfj-92cw-88vg
Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/cve-2026-110634 (revision 2, source checked 28 Oct 2026, 06:00 UTC)
Inventory: none attached. This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected.
Severity: Critical (CVSS 9.3)
Exploitation: no confirmed exploitation recorded. Patch Next confirms exploitation only from CISA KEV.
Vendor response: Vendor fix available; fixed versions by package: git-diff 2.0.7. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed.

## Affected components
- npm git-diff: affected < 2.0.7; fixed in 2.0.7

## Suggested inspection (read-only)
- `npm ls git-diff --all`: lists every installed copy and version, including transitive ones. Run in the project root after `npm ci`.

## Supported action
Upgrade each affected component to a fixed version on its release line. For a transitive dependency, upgrade the parent package or add an override or constraint, then regenerate the lockfile. Redeploy every environment that ran an affected version.

## Required regression checks
- Run the test suite and a production build.
- Exercise the features that depend on git-diff.
- Repeat the inspection and confirm that only fixed versions remain installed.

## Rollback considerations
- Keep the previous lockfile and deployment artifact. Rolling back reinstates the vulnerable version, so apply any documented mitigation while you fix forward.

## Unresolved questions
- Which deployments run an affected version?
- Exploitation status can change. Check again before lowering the priority.
- Mark the work resolved only after the fixed version is verified in production.

- Verified: https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-6wfj-92cw-88vg (GitHub-reviewed advisory GHSA-6wfj-92cw-88vg lists affected ranges: npm git-diff >=0 <2.0.7)
