Package	Ecosystem	Affected	Fixed in
simple-git	npm	>=3.15.0, <4.0.1	4.0.1

Machine-written summary

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

The default unsafe-operation plugin in the npm package simple-git, versions 3.15.0 before 4.0.1, does not block Git trailer command configuration. An attacker who can pass untrusted values into instance config options or Git inline configuration arguments can cause a shell command to run with the permissions of the Node.js process. Upgrade to simple-git 4.0.1, the fixed version.
