CVE-2024-32884: Byron Gitoxide

Medium severity, CVSS 6.4. EPSS: 0.5% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

gitoxide is a pure Rust implementation of Git. `gix-transport` does not check the username part of a URL for text that the external `ssh` program would interpret as an option. A specially crafted clone URL can smuggle options to SSH. The possibilities are syntactically limited, but if a malicious clone URL is used by an application whose current working directory contains a malicious file, arbitrary code execution occurs. This is related to the patched vulnerability GHSA-rrjw-j4m2-mf34, but appears less severe due to a greater attack complexity. This issue has been patched in versions 0.35.0, 0.42.0 and 0.62.0.

Affected products

• Byron Gitoxide: before 0.42.0 (fixed in 0.42.0); before 0.62 (fixed in 0.62); before 0.35 (fixed in 0.35); before 0.35.0 (fixed in 0.35.0); before 0.62.0 (fixed in 0.62.0)
