Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions The product name cannot be determined (affected versions not specified)
Description A validation gap exists in the LaunchConfigurationBaseSerializer.scm branch where the validate scm branch() check for leading dashes is missing. This allows the scm branch variable to accept malicious input, such as --upload-pack=/bin/id. While a defense-in-depth check in jobs.py:1502 currently prevents execution by raising a ValueError, the lack of API-level validation means the system relies solely on a task-layer guard. If this guard is removed or refactored, it could lead to Remote Code Execution (RCE), a situation where an attacker can execute arbitrary commands on the host machine.
Recommendations At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
