Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

gix-path versions before 0.10.11 misparse quoted configuration paths reported by Git, such as paths with non-ASCII characters. A local user who can create a file at the wrongly resolved location may inject configuration that leads to code execution, though this is rare. Upgrade to gix-path 0.10.11 or later.
