GHSA-v725-9546-7q7m
go-git has an Argument Injection via the URL field
Packages
| Ecosystem | Package | Affected | Fixed in |
|---|---|---|---|
| Go | gopkg.in/src-d/go-git.v4 | >= 4.0.0, <= 4.13.1 | no fix listed |
| Go | github.com/go-git/go-git/v5 | < 5.13.0 | 5.13.0 |
Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
### Impact
An argument injection vulnerability was discovered in `go-git` versions prior to `v5.13`.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could allow an attacker to set arbitrary values to [git-upload-pack flags](https://git-scm.com/docs/git-upload-pack). This only happens when the `file` transport protocol is being used, as that is the only protocol that shells out to `git` binaries.
### Affected versions
Users running versions of `go-git` from `v4` and above are recommended to upgrade to `v5.13` in order to mitigate this vulnerability.
### Workarounds
In cases where a bump to the latest version of `go-git` is not possible, we recommend users to enforce restrict validation rules for values passed in the URL field.
