  • Critical 9.1
    CVE-2024-32002 Public exploit EPSS 29%

    Git's recursive clones on case-insensitive filesystems that support symlinks are susceptible to Remote Code Execution

    Git is a revision control system. Prior to versions 2.45.1, 2.44.1, 2.43.4, 2.42.2, 2.41.1, 2.40.2, and 2.39.4, repositories with submodules can be crafted in a way that exploits a bug in Git whereby it can be fooled into writing files not into the submodule'…

  • High 8.2
    CVE-2024-32004 Public exploit

    Git vulnerable to Remote Code Execution while cloning special-crafted local repositories

    Git is a revision control system. Prior to versions 2.45.1, 2.44.1, 2.43.4, 2.42.2, 2.41.1, 2.40.2, and 2.39.4, an attacker can prepare a local repository in such a way that, when cloned, will execute arbitrary code during the operation. The problem has been …

  • High 7.5
    CVE-2023-25652 EPSS 52%

    "git apply --reject" partially-controlled arbitrary file write

    Git is a revision control system. Prior to versions 2.30.9, 2.31.8, 2.32.7, 2.33.8, 2.34.8, 2.35.8, 2.36.6, 2.37.7, 2.38.5, 2.39.3, and 2.40.1, by feeding specially crafted input to `git apply --reject`, a path outside the working tree can be overwritten with…

  • High 7.4

    Git's protections for cloning untrusted repositories can be bypassed

    Git is a revision control system. The Git project recommends to avoid working in untrusted repositories, and instead to clone it first with `git clone --no-local` to obtain a clean copy. Git has specific protections to make that a safe operation even with an …

  • High 7.0
    CVE-2023-29007 Public exploit

    Arbitrary configuration injection via `git submodule deinit`

    Git is a revision control system. Prior to versions 2.30.9, 2.31.8, 2.32.7, 2.33.8, 2.34.8, 2.35.8, 2.36.6, 2.37.7, 2.38.5, 2.39.3, and 2.40.1, a specially crafted `.gitmodules` file with submodule URLs that are longer than 1024 characters can used to exploit…

  • Low 3.9

    Cloning local Git repository by untrusted user allows the untrusted user to modify objects in the cloned repository at will

    Git is a revision control system. Prior to versions 2.45.1, 2.44.1, 2.43.4, 2.42.2, 2.41.1, 2.40.2, and 2.39.4, local clones may end up hardlinking files into the target repository's object database when source and target repository reside on the same disk. I…

  • Low 3.9

    Local Git clone may hardlink arbitrary user-readable files into the new repository's "objects/" directory

    Git is a revision control system. Prior to versions 2.45.1, 2.44.1, 2.43.4, 2.42.2, 2.41.1, 2.40.2, and 2.39.4, when cloning a local source repository that contains symlinks via the filesystem, Git may create hardlinks to arbitrary user-readable files on the …

  • Low 3.3

    Git looks for localized messages in the wrong place

    In Git for Windows, the Windows port of Git, no localized messages are shipped with the installer. As a consequence, Git is expected not to localize messages at all, and skips the gettext initialization. However, due to a change in MINGW-packages, the `gettex…
