Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
git-delta versions before 0.8.3 on Windows resolve an executable's pathname as a relative path from the current directory. The source gives few details on how this is triggered or what an attacker gains, but a high severity score (CVSS 7.8) is listed. Upgrade git-delta to version 0.8.3 or later.
