CVE-2024-52005

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Git (affected versions not specified)

Description The issue concerns Git, a source code management tool. When cloning from a server, informational or error messages are transported from the remote Git process to the client via the "sideband channel". These messages are prefixed with "remote:" and printed directly to the standard error output. Typically, this standard error output is connected to a terminal that understands ANSI escape sequences, which Git did not protect against. Most modern terminals support control sequences that can be used by a malicious actor to hide and misrepresent information, or to mislead the user into executing untrusted scripts.

Recommendations Users are advised to update as soon as possible. Users unable to upgrade should avoid recursive clones unless they are from trusted sources.
