CVE-2025-68145 affects mcp-server-git versions prior to 2025.12.18. When the server is started with the --repository flag intended to restrict operations to a specific repository path, subsequent tool calls that supply repo_path were not validated against that configured path. As a result, the server trusted the caller-provided repo_path and could perform Git operations against repositories outside the intended boundary. Reported fixes add canonical path validation by resolving both the configured repository path and the requested path, following symlinks, and verifying that the requested path is contained within the allowed repository before executing Git operations.

High-severity vulnerability in Anthropic’s mcp-server-git (Git MCP server) enabling path traversal/argument injection via prompt injection, potentially leading to file read/delete and remote code execution.
Unknown
A path validation bypass in Anthropic’s official Git MCP server (mcp-server-git) that can be chained with other MCP tools (notably the Filesystem MCP server) to enable file overwrites and potentially remote code execution via indirect prompt injection workflows.
A path validation bypass flaw in Anthropic's Git MCP server that researchers said could be chained with other MCP tools, particularly the Filesystem MCP server, to enable remote code execution or file tampering through prompt injection.
