CVE-2026-25934 – go-git improperly verifies data integrity values for .idx and .pack files

CVE ID : CVE-2026-25934

Published : Feb. 9, 2026, 11:16 p.m. | 1 hour, 5 minutes ago

Description : go-git is a highly extensible git implementation library written in pure Go. Prior to 5.16.5, a vulnerability was discovered in go-git whereby data integrity values for .pack and .idx files were not properly verified. This resulted in go-git potentially consuming corrupted files, which would likely result in unexpected errors such as object not found. For context, clients fetch packfiles from upstream Git servers. Those files contain a checksum of their contents, so that clients can perform integrity checks before consuming it. The pack indexes (.idx) are generated locally by go-git, or the git cli, when new .pack files are received and processed. The integrity checks for both files were not being verified correctly. This vulnerability is fixed in 5.16.5.

Severity: 4.3 | MEDIUM
