CVE-2026-73425 - LOW Severity Vulnerability

Astro is a web framework for content-driven websites. Prior to 8.1.2, the Astro Netlify adapter converts each image.remotePatterns entry into a regular expression written to .netlify/v1/config.json under images.remote_images for Netlify's Image CDN allowlist. In packages/integrations/netlify/src/index.ts, remotePatternToRegex() escapes dots in hostname values but interpolates literal pathname values without escaping regular expression metacharacters such as ., +, ?, (, and [, so a restrictive pathname such as /img/v1.0/file also matches metacharacter-adjacent paths, including paths that cross a segment. Netlify enforces the generated regular expression directly and Astro's matchPattern() helper does not revalidate the request, allowing optimization of images on an already-allowed host that the declared pathname was intended to exclude. This issue is fixed in version 8.1.2.

CVE-2026-64655

CVE-2026-64655 - UNKNOWN Severity Vulnerability

GitHub CLI (gh) is GitHub’s official command line tool. Prior to 2.97.0, gh attestation verify  builds the certificate Subject Alternative Name matcher from the --signer-repo and --signer-workflow  flag values without escaping regex metacharacters, so a user-supplied repository or workflow name is treated as a regular expression rather than a literal string. Because GitHub permits characters such as  `.`  in organization, repository, and workflow path names and  `.`  is a regex wildcard, an attacker can register a lookalike name (for example github/artifact.attestations-workflows) that satisfies a matcher intended for a different trusted signer (github/artifact-attestations-workflows), bypassing the intended Sigstore attestation verification. Exploitation requires the attacker to create a plausible lookalike repository and produce valid attestations from it, which could undermine supply chain verification for CI/CD pipelines or policy gates that pin trust to a specific signing workflow. This issue is fixed in version 2.97.0.

CVE-2026-45065

Symfony: UrlGenerator Route-Requirement Bypass via Unanchored Regex Alternation → Off-Site //host URL Injection

Symfony is a PHP framework for web and console applications and a set of reusable PHP components. Prior to 5.4.52, 6.4.40, 7.4.12, and 8.0.12, UrlGenerator validates route parameters against a pattern built as ^ plus the raw requirement plus $; with ungrouped alternations, middle alternatives match as unanchored substrings, allowing a value such as //evil.com to satisfy a common locale requirement and generate a protocol-relative off-site URL. This issue is fixed in versions 5.4.52, 6.4.40, 7.4.12, and 8.0.12.
