Is your app affected by CVE-2025-10283?
Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Cursor or any AI coding tool: it runs a free Shippable scan of your project and fixes what it finds. Built with Lovable, Bolt or v0? Scan your live app. Or upload your package file.
Who is affected
bbot(PyPI) < 2.7.0
How to check
- Run
pip show bbotin your project to see the installed version, including copies pulled in by other packages. - Or paste your lockfile into the checker: it lists every package with a known vulnerability, this one included.
- Or run
npx shippable-dev scan localhost:3000in your project folder. It reads your lockfile and flags this vulnerability along with every other known one.
How to fix
Copies a prompt for Claude Code, Cursor or Codex: it checks your lockfiles for this and upgrades it.
- Upgrade
bbotto 2.7.0 or later, commit the lockfile and redeploy. - If a vulnerable version was live, check your logs and rotate the secrets that server could read.
The advisory
### Summary
bbot's `gitdumper.py` insufficiently sanitises a `.git/config` file, leading to Remote Code Execution (RCE).
bbot's `gitdumper.py` can be made to consume a malicious `.git/index` file, leading to arbitrary file write which can be used to achieve Remote Code Execution (RCE).
### Impact
A user who uses bbot to scan a malicious webserver may have arbitrary code executed on their system.
Check your whole app
Dependencies are only half of it. Free and read-only: before you push, run npx shippable-dev scan localhost:3000 in your project folder, no account needed. For your live app, you prove it's yours with a one-line tag first.
