📋 Description

Summary

Host execution env sanitization did not block GIT_TEMPLATE_DIR or AWS_CONFIG_FILE, even though both can redirect trusted tooling to attacker-controlled content.

Impact

An approved exec request could redirect git or AWS CLI behavior through attacker-controlled configuration and execute untrusted code or load attacker-selected credentials.

Affected Component

Fixed Versions

  • Affected: <= 2026.3.24
  • Patched: >= 2026.3.28
