HashiCorp go-getter Vulnerable to Code Execution On Git Update Via Git Config Manipulation
Packages
| Ecosystem | Package | Affected | Fixed in |
|---|---|---|---|
| Go | github.com/hashicorp/go-getter | < 1.7.5 | 1.7.5 |
Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
HashiCorp’s go-getter library can be coerced into executing Git update on an existing maliciously modified Git Configuration, potentially leading to arbitrary code execution. When go-getter is performing a Git operation, go-getter will try to clone the given repository in a specified destination. Cloning initializes a git config to the provided destination and if the repository needs to get updated go-getter will pull the new changes .
An attacker may alter the Git config after the cloning step to set an arbitrary Git configuration to achieve code execution.
