Detailsinfo

A vulnerability, which was classified as critical, has been found in ggit (the affected version unknown). This issue affects the function clone of the component URL Scheme Handler. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a argument injection vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-88. The product constructs a string for a command to be executed by a separate component in another control sphere, but it does not properly delimit the intended arguments, options, or switches within that command string. Impacted is integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

All versions of the package ggit are vulnerable to Arbitrary Argument Injection via the clone() API, which allows specifying the remote URL to clone and the file on disk to clone to. The library does not sanitize for user input or validate a given URL scheme, nor does it properly pass command-line flags to the git binary using the double-dash POSIX characters (--) to communicate the end of options.

The advisory is shared at security.snyk.io. The identification of this vulnerability is CVE-2024-21533 since 12/22/2023. The exploitation is known to be easy. The attack may be initiated remotely. No form of authentication is needed for a successful exploitation. Technical details are known, but no exploit is available.
