If the workspace contains a repository with preserved attacker-controlled .git/config, the attr.tree setting and a configured clean or process filter can cause Git to run an attacker-controlled program. The program runs outside Codex's command sandbox with the signed-in user's privileges, without a workspace-trust prompt, command approval, or interaction with a model. The attacker can read, modify, or delete files and access credentials available to that user. Exploitation requires Git to be available on PATH and the user to open the attacker-prepared repository with its local Git configuration intact. An ordinary Git clone does not copy the source repository's .git/config and is not sufficient by itself." } ], "affected": [ { "vendor": "OpenAI", "product": "Codex Desktop", "platforms": [ "macOS" ], "versions": [ { "version": "260202.0859", "status": "affected", "versionType": "custom", "lessThanOrEqual": "26.513.31313" }, { "version": "26.519.22136", "status": "unaffected" } ] }, { "vendor": "OpenAI", "product": "Codex Desktop", "platforms": [ "Windows" ], "versions": [ { "version": "26.304.38", "status": "affected", "versionType": "custom", "lessThanOrEqual": "26.513.40821" }, { "version": "26.519.21041", "status": "unaffected" } ] }, { "vendor": "OpenAI", "product": "Codex Desktop (Microsoft Store package)", "platforms": [ "Windows" ], "versions": [ { "version": "26.304.38.0", "status": "affected", "versionType": "custom", "lessThanOrEqual": "26.513.4821.0" }, { "version": "26.519.2081.0", "status": "unaffected" } ] } ], "problemTypes": [ { "descriptions": [ { "lang": "en", "cweId": "CWE-15", "description": "CWE-15: External Control of System or Configuration Setting", "type": "CWE" } ] } ], "references": [ { "url": "https://www.zerodayinitiative.com/advisories/ZDI-26-651/" } ], "credits": [ { "lang": "en", "value": "Satoki Tsuji (@satoki00) / Ikotas Labs, Inc." } ], "configurations": [ { "lang": "en", "value": "macOS or Windows with Git available on PATH and an attacker-supplied workspace preserving attacker-controlled .git/config, Git attributes, and clean or process filter settings.
