CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedAuthenticated users of PrefectHQ Prefect versions up to 3.8.2 are vulnerable to an argument injection flaw that permits remote code execution through the unsanitized branch field in the git_clone pull step. This vulnerability allows attackers to inject arbitrary git commands, potentially leading to unauthorized command execution on the Prefect server. Organizations using this software should prioritize patching to mitigate the risk of exploitation.

Original NVD Description
An argument injection vulnerability in PrefectHQ Prefect through 3.8.2 allows authenticated users to achieve remote code execution via the git_clone pull step branch field. The branch parameter is passed directly to git pull without sanitization, enabling injection of arbitrary git arguments. This represents a distinct code path from the incomplete fix applied for CVE-2026-5366 and allows command execution on the Prefect server.
