CVE-2024-35186: Byron Gitoxide

High severity, CVSS 8.8. EPSS: 0.8% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

gitoxide is a pure Rust implementation of Git. During checkout, `gix-worktree-state` does not verify that paths point to locations in the working tree. A specially crafted repository can, when cloned, place new files anywhere writable by the application. This vulnerability leads to a major loss of confidentiality, integrity, and availability, but creating files outside a working tree without attempting to execute code can directly impact integrity as well. This vulnerability has been patched in version(s) 0.36.0.

Affected products

• Byron Gitoxide: before 0.36.0 (fixed in 0.36.0)
