{"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":"2026-09-19T03:45:06.152976347Z","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":{"unresolved_ranges":[{"extracted_events":[{"fixed":"1.10.26"},{"introduced":"2.0.0"},{"fixed":"2.2.12"},{"introduced":"2.3"},{"fixed":"2.3.6"}],"source":"AFFECTED_FIELD"}],"cna_assigner":"GitHub_M","cwe_ids":["CWE-20"],"osv_generated_from":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2022/24xxx/CVE-2022-24828.json"},"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":"0"},{"fixed":"2c40c53637c5c7e43fff7c09d3d324d632734709"}],"database_specific":{"source":"REFERENCES"}}],"versions":["2.2.11","2.2.10","2.2.9","2.2.8","2.2.7","2.2.6","2.2.4","2.2.3","2.2.2","2.2.1","2.2.0","2.2.0-RC1","1.0.0-alpha10","1.0.0-alpha9"],"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/osv-test-cve-osv-conversion/osv-output/CVE-2022-24828.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H"}]}
