1) Improper Resolution of Path Equivalence (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-45405)

CWE-ID: CWE-41 - Improper Resolution of Path Equivalence

CVSSv4: 7 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:A/VC:H/VI:H/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]


The vulnerability allows a local user to execute arbitrary code.

The vulnerability exists due to improper resolution of path equivalence in gix_path::env installation_config and installation_config_prefix when parsing the path reported by git config -l --show-origin. A local user can create a crafted configuration path that is resolved to an attacker-controlled file to execute arbitrary code.

User interaction is required, and exploitation is only plausible in uncommon multi-user or unusually configured environments.
