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
Summary
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. This is only relevant when enabling the ext transport
protocol (CVE-2022-24439)
