CVSS 3.1 Score 7.8 of 10 (high)
Details
Summary
CVE-2024-22190 is a vulnerability in GitPython, a python library used for interacting with Git repositories. The vulnerability stems from an incomplete fix for CVE-2023-40590 and affects Windows users. When GitPython uses a shell to run `git` or runs `bash.exe` to interpret hooks, it employs an untrusted search path. This means that if either of these features are used on Windows, a malicious `git.exe` or `bash.exe` could be executed from an untrusted repository. The issue has been addressed in version 3.1.41 of GitPython. This vulnerability poses a high risk to organizations as it could lead to the execution of malicious code and compromise the integrity and confidentiality of their systems.
