{"id":"UBUNTU-CVE-2022-24828","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.","modified":"2026-01-30T02:03:07.479541Z","published":"2022-04-13T21:15:00Z","related":["USN-7603-1"],"upstream":["CVE-2022-24828"],"references":[{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2022-24828"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://github.com/composer/composer/commit/2c40c53637c5c7e43fff7c09d3d324d632734709"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://github.com/composer/composer/security/advisories/GHSA-x7cr-6qr6-2hh6"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2022-24828"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://ubuntu.com/security/notices/USN-7603-1"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"composer","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:Pro:16.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/composer@1.0.0~beta2-1ubuntu0.1~esm2?arch=source&distro=esm-apps/xenial"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"1.0.0~beta2-1ubuntu0.1~esm2"}]}],"versions":["1.0.0~alpha10+20150602-1","1.0.0~alpha10+20150602-2","1.0.0~alpha11-1","1.0.0~alpha11-1ubuntu1","1.0.0~alpha11-2","1.0.0~alpha11-3","1.0.0~beta1-1ubuntu1","1.0.0~beta2-1","1.0.0~beta2-1ubuntu0.1~esm1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"availability":"Available with Ubuntu Pro: https://ubuntu.com/pro","binaries":[{"binary_name":"composer","binary_version":"1.0.0~beta2-1ubuntu0.1~esm2"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2022/UBUNTU-CVE-2022-24828.json"}},{"package":{"name":"composer","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:Pro:18.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/composer@1.6.3-1ubuntu0.1~esm2?arch=source&distro=esm-apps/bionic"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"1.6.3-1ubuntu0.1~esm2"}]}],"versions":["1.5.1-1","1.5.2-1","1.6.2-1","1.6.3-1","1.6.3-1ubuntu0.1~esm1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"availability":"Available with Ubuntu Pro: https://ubuntu.com/pro","binaries":[{"binary_name":"composer","binary_version":"1.6.3-1ubuntu0.1~esm2"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2022/UBUNTU-CVE-2022-24828.json"}},{"package":{"name":"composer","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:Pro:20.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/composer@1.10.1-1ubuntu0.1~esm2?arch=source&distro=esm-apps/focal"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"1.10.1-1ubuntu0.1~esm2"}]}],"versions":["1.9.0-2","1.9.1-1","1.9.2-1","1.9.3-1","1.10.0-1","1.10.1-1","1.10.1-1ubuntu0.1~esm1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"availability":"Available with Ubuntu Pro: https://ubuntu.com/pro","binaries":[{"binary_name":"composer","binary_version":"1.10.1-1ubuntu0.1~esm2"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2022/UBUNTU-CVE-2022-24828.json"}},{"package":{"name":"composer","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:Pro:22.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/composer@2.2.6-2ubuntu4+esm1?arch=source&distro=esm-apps/jammy"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"2.2.6-2ubuntu4+esm1"}]}],"versions":["2.0.9-2ubuntu2","2.0.9-2ubuntu3","2.0.13-1ubuntu1","2.1.12-1ubuntu1","2.2.6-2ubuntu4"],"ecosystem_specific":{"availability":"Available with Ubuntu Pro: https://ubuntu.com/pro","binaries":[{"binary_name":"composer","binary_version":"2.2.6-2ubuntu4+esm1"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2022/UBUNTU-CVE-2022-24828.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.3","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H"},{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H"},{"type":"Ubuntu","score":"medium"}]}
