ConfigPoisoning in DeepSeek-Reasonix Studio: git config can exec attacker code

  • Platform/SRE — Skip
  • CI/CD — Learn: The ConfigPoisoning class — attacker-controlled execution via .git/config and .gitattributes — is worth understanding when hardening pipelines that clone external or untrusted repos; the specific exploit requires the DeepSeek-Reasonix desktop client, but GitLab notes multiple coding agents share the same root flaw.
  • Leader — Plan: GitLab’s research found the ConfigPoisoning class affects multiple widely-used AI coding agents, not just DeepSeek-Reasonix; if the org is standardizing on AI coding assistants, add security vetting of approved tools to the golden-path policy before broad rollout.
  • Signals: CVE-2026-102437 — CISA KEV: not listed, EPSS 0.01
