CVE-2022-24439 — Remote Code Execution (RCE)

Affected: GitPython

All versions of package gitpython are vulnerable to Remote Code Execution (RCE) due to improper user input validation, which makes it possible to inject a maliciously crafted remote URL into the clone command. Exploiting this vulnerability is possible because the library makes external calls to git without sufficient sanitization of input arguments.

USN-5968-1 — python-git vulnerability

Affected: Ubuntu:Pro:14.04:LTS: python-git, Ubuntu:Pro:16.04:LTS: python-git, Ubuntu:Pro:18.04:LTS: python-git, Ubuntu:Pro:20.04:LTS: python-git, Ubuntu:Pro:22.04:LTS: python-git

It was discovered that GitPython did not properly sanitize user inputs for remote URLs in the clone command. By injecting a maliciously crafted remote URL, an attacker could possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary commands on the host.
