The Project scm_url field is not validated against values that\nbegin with a dash and is stored and passed verbatim to the git SCM module.\nBecause the module runs git ls-remote with the URL as a positional argument and\nwithout a \"--\" separator, a git project URL such as \"--upload-pack=<command>:x\"\nis interpreted by git as the --upload-pack option and executed via a shell. A\nuser with permission to create or modify a project in a single organization can\nthereby execute arbitrary commands on the control-plane task pod, with output\nreflected through the project update stdout endpoint, leading to cross-tenant\ncompromise and in-cluster lateral movement","cvssScore":9.9,"cvssSeverity":"CRITICAL","cvssVector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H","cwes":["CWE-88"],"vendors":[],"products":[],"references":[{"url":"https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:71113","tags":[]},{"url":"https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:71114","tags":[]},{"url":"https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:71115","tags":[]},{"url":"https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:71177","tags":[]},{"url":"https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:71179","tags":[]},{"url":"https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2026-84502","tags":[]},{"url":"https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2527096","tags":[]}],"exploitRefs":[],"hasPoc":false,"ai":{"summary":"The flaw allows an attacker to inject arbitrary commands via the scm_url field, leading to remote code execution on the control-plane task pod.","exploitability":"Exploitation requires write access to a project in a single organization and knowledge of the specific URL format to trigger the vulnerability.
