This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of OpenAI Codex. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must open a malicious folder. The specific flaw exists within the handling of configuration files. The issue results from the lack of proper sanitization of configuration settings. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current user.

OpenAI Codex Desktop for Windows and macOS automatically inspected Git metadata and working-tree status when a user opened a workspace. If the workspace contains a repository with preserved attacker-controlled .git/config, the attr.tree setting and a configured clean or process filter can cause Git to run an attacker-controlled program. The program runs outside Codex's command sandbox with the signed-in user's privileges, without a workspace-trust prompt, command approval, or interaction with a model. The attacker can read, modify, or delete files and access credentials available to that user. Exploitation requires Git to be available on PATH and the user to open the attacker-prepared repository with its local Git configuration intact. An ordinary Git clone does not copy the source repository's .git/config and is not sufficient by itself.
