{"id":"GHSA-xfhp-jf8p-mh5w","summary":"HashiCorp go-getter Vulnerable to Code Execution On Git Update Via Git Config Manipulation","details":"HashiCorp’s go-getter library can be coerced into executing Git update on an existing maliciously modified Git Configuration, potentially leading to arbitrary code execution. When go-getter is performing a Git operation, go-getter will try to clone the given repository in a specified destination. Cloning initializes a git config to the provided destination and if the repository needs to get updated go-getter will pull the new changes .\n\nAn attacker may alter the Git config after the cloning step to set an arbitrary Git configuration to achieve code execution.","aliases":["CVE-2024-6257","GO-2024-2948"],"modified":"2026-07-17T21:05:16.018701215Z","published":"2024-06-25T18:31:22Z","database_specific":{"nvd_published_at":"2024-06-25T17:15:10Z","cwe_ids":["CWE-77"],"severity":"HIGH","github_reviewed":true,"github_reviewed_at":"2024-06-25T20:14:06Z"},"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2024-6257"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/hashicorp/go-getter/commit/268c11cae8cf0d9374783e06572679796abe9ce9"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://discuss.hashicorp.com/t/hcsec-2024-13-hashicorp-go-getter-vulnerable-to-code-execution-on-git-update-via-git-config-manipulation/68081"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-xfhp-jf8p-mh5w"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://github.com/hashicorp/go-getter"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"github.com/hashicorp/go-getter","ecosystem":"Go","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/hashicorp/go-getter"},"ranges":[{"type":"SEMVER","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"1.7.5"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/github/advisory-database/blob/main/advisories/github-reviewed/2024/06/GHSA-xfhp-jf8p-mh5w/GHSA-xfhp-jf8p-mh5w.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H"}]}
