Short explanation
A path traversal vulnerability in isomorphic-git allows writing files outside the working directory during clone or checkout operations. Versions prior to 1.38.6 are affected.
This vulnerability can enable attackers to overwrite startup or configuration files, potentially leading to arbitrary code execution through unauthorized file writes.
What should be done?
- Update isomorphic-git to version 1.38.6 or later
- Follow vendor advisories
Chain of evidence and sources
isomorphic-git tree ayrıştırıcısı tek başına .. girdi adlarını kabul ederek çalışma dizini dışına dosya yazılmasına izin verir.
Bu sorun sürüm 1.38.6 ile giderilmiştir.
Show the technical text from the sources
isomorphic-git is a pure JavaScript implementation of Git for Node.js and browsers. Prior to 1.38.6, isomorphic-git's tree parser in src/models/GitTree.js accepts a standalone .. tree-entry name because it rejects only path separators. During clone or checkout from a malicious or man-in-the-middle-controlled non-GitHub remote, nested .. entries can escape the working-tree root and write files at attacker-selected parent paths on any host-backed fs provider. The arbitrary file write can overwrite startup or configuration files and lead to code execution. GitHub-hosted trees are not a direct source because GitHub rejects .. entries during repository integrity checks. This issue is fixed in version 1.38.6.
