DescriptionNVD

Versions of the package simple-git before 3.36.0 are vulnerable to Remote Code Execution (RCE) due to an incomplete fix for CVE-2022-25912 that blocks the -c option but not the equivalent --config form. If untrusted input can reach the options argument passed to simple-git, an attacker may still achieve remote code execution by enabling protocol.ext.allow=always and using an ext:: clone source.

AnalysisAI

Remote code execution in simple-git before 3.36.0 allows unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary commands via incomplete sanitization of command-line options. The vulnerability bypasses the prior CVE-2022-25912 fix by accepting --config instead of the blocked -c flag, enabling protocol.ext.allow=always configuration and malicious ext:: URLs. …
