What is CVE-2026-4660?

The go-getter library developed by HashiCorp is susceptible to an arbitrary file read vulnerability during specific git operations. This occurs when users encounter maliciously crafted URLs, potentially leading to unauthorized access to the file system. The issue has been addressed in version 1.8.6, and users of earlier versions are encouraged to upgrade to mitigate associated risks. Importantly, the vulnerability does not extend to the go-getter/v2 branch and package, which remains unaffected.
