CVE-2026-55448: Mise's local credential_command executes untrusted config

June 23, 2026

mise loads github.credential_command from local project config before any trust decision, then executes that value with sh -c when resolving a GitHub token. An attacker who can place a .mise.toml in a repository can execute arbitrary shell commands when the victim runs a GitHub-related mise command and no higher-priority GitHub token environment variable is set.

The current command-execution path is github.credential_command. I confirmed in Docker that the setting is exploitable on v2026.3.15 and v2026.3.17, while v2026.3.14 rejects it as an unknown field. This report does not depend on the separate trust-bypass issue because the sink is reached directly from [settings.github].
