Description
A crafted request can execute Git update on an existing maliciously modified Git Configuration. This can potentially lead to arbitrary code execution. When performing a Git operation, the library will try to clone the given repository to a specified destination. Cloning initializes a git config in the provided destination. An attacker may alter the Git config after the cloning step to set an arbitrary Git configuration to achieve code execution.
