**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions** Hugo versions prior to 0.79.1 **Description** Hugo is a fast and Flexible Static Site Generator built in Go. It depends on Go's `os/exec` for certain features, such as rendering of Pandoc documents if these binaries are found in the system `%PATH%` on Windows. If a malicious file with the same name (`exe` or `bat`) is found in the current working directory at the time of running `hugo`, the malicious command will be invoked instead of the system one. Windows users who run `hugo` inside untrusted Hugo sites are affected. **Recommendations** For Hugo versions prior to 0.79.1, upgrade to Hugo v0.79.1 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider avoiding untrusted Hugo sites until the issue is resolved.
