Improper Neutralization of Argument Delimiters in a Command ('Argument Injection')

CVE-2024-21533

Medium
6.5/10

Summary

Ggit is 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 URL scheme. It does not properly pass command-line flags to the git binary using the double-dash POSIX characters ("--") to communicate the end of options. The issue affects ggit versions 0.0.9 and after.
