Published: 2022-04-01 · updated 2026-06-17
Weakness: CWE-88

Description

The package simple-git before 3.5.0 are vulnerable to Command Injection due to an incomplete fix of [CVE-2022-24433](https://security.snyk.io/vuln/SNYK-JS-SIMPLEGIT-2421199) which only patches against the git fetch attack vector. A similar use of the --upload-pack feature of git is also supported for git clone, which the prior fix didn't cover.

Affected products

simple-git: before 3.5.0 — fixed in 3.5.0

How to fix

Upgrade to a fixed version: simple-git 3.5.0. Check the vendor advisory for mitigations.
