📄 Description (English)
A vulnerability was identified in Aider-AI Aider 0.86.3. Affected is an unknown function of the file aider/args.py of the component Pre-commit Hook Handler. Such manipulation of the argument git-commit-verify leads to protection mechanism failure. The attack may be launched remotely. The exploit is publicly available and might be used. The project was informed of the problem early through an issue report but has not responded yet.
🤖 AI Executive Summary
CVE-2026-10174 affects Aider-AI version 0.86.3, a code generation tool increasingly used by Saudi developers and enterprises. A vulnerability in the pre-commit hook handler allows attackers to bypass git commit verification through argument manipulation, potentially enabling malicious code commits. With public exploit availability and no patch currently available, this poses an immediate risk to development pipelines across Saudi organizations.

🔧 Remediation Steps (English)
IMMEDIATE ACTIONS:
1. Audit all development environments for Aider-AI 0.86.3 installations and document usage across the organization
2. Disable pre-commit hooks or restrict their execution to trusted environments only
3. Implement mandatory code review processes with human verification before any commits
4. Monitor git repositories for suspicious commit patterns or unauthorized changes
COMPENSATING CONTROLS:
5. Enforce branch protection rules requiring pull request reviews before merging
6. Implement commit signing requirements (GPG/SSH) to verify developer identity
7. Deploy git audit logging and alerting on all repositories
8. Restrict Aider-AI usage to isolated development environments without production access
9. Use alternative code generation tools until patch is available
DETECTION RULES:
10. Monitor for git-commit-verify argument manipulation in process logs
11. Alert on commits bypassing pre-commit hooks
12. Track Aider-AI process execution with unusual argument patterns
13. Implement SIEM rules for unauthorized repository modifications
🔧 خطوات المعالجة (العربية)
الإجراءات الفورية:
1. تدقيق جميع بيئات التطوير للتثبيتات Aider-AI 0.86.3 وتوثيق الاستخدام عبر المؤسسة
2. تعطيل pre-commit hooks أو تقييد تنفيذها للبيئات الموثوقة فقط
3. تنفيذ عمليات مراجعة الأكواد الإلزامية مع التحقق البشري قبل أي التزام
4. مراقبة مستودعات git للأنماط المريبة أو التغييرات غير المصرح بها
الضوابط التعويضية:
5. فرض قواعد حماية الفروع التي تتطلب مراجعات طلب السحب قبل الدمج
6. تنفيذ متطلبات توقيع الالتزام (GPG/SSH) للتحقق من هوية المطور
7. نشر تسجيل وتنبيهات تدقيق git على جميع المستودعات
8. تقييد استخدام Aider-AI للبيئات المعزولة بدون وصول الإنتاج
9. استخدام أدوات توليد أكواد بديلة حتى يتوفر التصحيح
قواعد الكشف:
10. مراقبة معالجة git-commit-verify للحجج المريبة في سجلات العملية
11. التنبيه على الالتزامات التي تتجاوز pre-commit hooks
12. تتبع تنفيذ عملية Aider-AI مع أنماط الحجج غير العادية
13. تنفيذ قواعد SIEM لتعديلات المستودع غير المصرح بها
