{"id":"CVE-2022-24828","summary":"Missing input validation can lead to command execution in composer","details":"Composer is a dependency manager for the PHP programming language. Integrators using Composer code to call `VcsDriver::getFileContent` can have a code injection vulnerability if the user can control the `$file` or `$identifier` argument. This leads to a vulnerability on packagist.org for example where the composer.json's `readme` field can be used as a vector for injecting parameters into hg/Mercurial via the `$file` argument, or git via the `$identifier` argument if you allow arbitrary data there (Packagist does not, but maybe other integrators do). Composer itself should not be affected by the vulnerability as it does not call `getFileContent` with arbitrary data into `$file`/`$identifier`. To the best of our knowledge this was not abused, and the vulnerability has been patched on packagist.org and Private Packagist within a day of the vulnerability report.","aliases":["BIT-composer-2022-24828","GHSA-x7cr-6qr6-2hh6"],"modified":"2026-05-19T11:55:59.007777189Z","published":"2022-04-13T21:00:22Z","related":["SUSE-SU-2022:3020-1","SUSE-SU-2026:1970-1","openSUSE-SU-2022:0132-1","openSUSE-SU-2024:12048-1","openSUSE-SU-2024:12054-1"],"database_specific":{"cna_assigner":"GitHub_M","osv_generated_from":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2022/24xxx/CVE-2022-24828.json","cwe_ids":["CWE-20"]},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://www.tenable.com/security/tns-2022-09"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2022/24xxx/CVE-2022-24828.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/composer/composer/security/advisories/GHSA-x7cr-6qr6-2hh6"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-announce%40lists.fedoraproject.org/message/625MT3IKWKFVIWLSYZFSXHVUA2LES7YQ/"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-announce%40lists.fedoraproject.org/message/GWT6LDSRY7SFMTDZWJ4MS2ZBXHL7VQEF/"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-announce%40lists.fedoraproject.org/message/QD7JQWL6C4GVROO25DTXWYWM6BPOPPCG/"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2022-24828"},{"type":"FIX","url":"https://github.com/composer/composer/commit/2c40c53637c5c7e43fff7c09d3d324d632734709"}],"affected":[{"ranges":[{"type":"GIT","repo":"https://github.com/composer/composer","events":[{"introduced":"934ee6eed3c3ffd0aeccef7c1d255adcf0752b24"},{"fixed":"0f43aa1652c447a6bc7c9217ec133313b1d32e72"}]}],"versions":["2.3.5","2.3.4","2.3.3","2.3.2","2.3.1","2.3.0"],"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/osv-test-cve-osv-conversion/osv-output/CVE-2022-24828.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.5","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H"}]}
