GitHub CLI (gh) is GitHub’s official command line tool. From 2.10.0 through 2.95.0, connecting to a malicious Codespace with gh codespace jupyter can allow command execution because the command opens a JupyterLab URL supplied by a process inside the Codespace without validating that it is a loopback HTTP or HTTPS address, allowing a crafted vscode:// or vscode-insiders:// URL to be handed to VS Code. This issue is fixed in version 2.96.0.
CVE-2026-59831
This medium-severity CVE scores 4.4 under a secondary CVSS source (NVD's own analysis pending). EPSS exploit probability: 0.3% (23rd percentile of EPSS-scored CVEs). GitHub Security Advisory data not yet ingested — confidence will rise once GHSA publishes (typical lag: hours to days for open-source ecosystem CVEs; never for infrastructure-only CVEs).
