What is CVE-2026-0810?
CVE-2026-0810 is a high-severity vulnerability in GitoxideLabs Logging Subsystem for Red Hat OpenShift, published on 26 Jan 2026. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.
Official description
A flaw was found in gix-date. The `gix_date::parse::TimeBuf::as_str` function can generate strings containing invalid non-UTF8 characters.
