  1. Critical, CVSS 9.8RubyGemsPublished

    Git-fastclone passes user modifiable strings directly to a shell command

    CVE-2015-8969 · GHSA-mf6w-45cf-qhmp

    Affected
    • RubyGems git-fastclone < 1.0.5
    Fixed in
    1.0.5· Vendor fix available

    Recommended action: Upgrade to 1.0.5 or later, then redeploy and verify.A vendor fix does not resolve your finding until you verify it in your own systems.

  2. High, CVSS 8.8RubyGemsPublished

    git-fastclone permits arbitrary shell command execution from .gitmodules

    CVE-2015-8968 · GHSA-8gg6-3r63-25m8

    Affected
    • RubyGems git-fastclone < 1.0.1
    Fixed in
    1.0.1· Vendor fix available
    Issue
    git-fastclone before 1.0.1 permits arbitrary shell command execution from .gitmodules. If an attacker can instruct a user to run a recursive clone from a repository they control, they can get a client to run an arbitrary shell command. Alternately, if an attacker can MITM an unencrypted git clone, they could exploit this. The ext command will be run if the repository is recursively cloned or if submodules are updated. This attack works when cloning both local and remote repositories.

    Recommended action: Upgrade to 1.0.1 or later, then redeploy and verify.A vendor fix does not resolve your finding until you verify it in your own systems.
