{"id":"CVE-2022-42906","details":"powerline-gitstatus (aka Powerline Gitstatus) before 1.3.2 allows arbitrary code execution. git repositories can contain per-repository configuration that changes the behavior of git, including running arbitrary commands. When using powerline-gitstatus, changing to a directory automatically runs git commands in order to display information about the current repository in the prompt. If an attacker can convince a user to change their current directory to one controlled by the attacker, such as in a shared filesystem or extracted archive, powerline-gitstatus will run arbitrary commands under the attacker's control. NOTE: this is similar to CVE-2022-20001.","aliases":["GHSA-w67g-6gjv-c599"],"modified":"2026-05-18T05:54:02.250803998Z","published":"2022-10-13T00:00:00Z","database_specific":{"osv_generated_from":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2022/42xxx/CVE-2022-42906.json","cna_assigner":"mitre"},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/jaspernbrouwer/powerline-gitstatus/releases/tag/v1.3.2"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2022/42xxx/CVE-2022-42906.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2022-42906"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://github.com/jaspernbrouwer/powerline-gitstatus/issues/45"},{"type":"ARTICLE","url":"https://lists.debian.org/debian-lts-announce/2023/01/msg00017.html"}],"affected":[{"ranges":[{"type":"GIT","repo":"https://github.com/jaspernbrouwer/powerline-gitstatus","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"fe8e963b3489e4cceaa2c1f26f2bcc2ef405364c"}]}],"versions":["v1.3.1","v1.3.0","v1.2.1","v1.1.1","v1.1.0","v1.0.4","v1.0.3","v1.0.2","v1.0.1","v1.0.0"],"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/osv-test-cve-osv-conversion/osv-output/CVE-2022-42906.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.5","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H"}]}
