    Powerline Gitstatus vulnerable to arbitrary code execution

    CVE-2022-42906 · GHSA-w67g-6gjv-c599

    Affected
    • PyPI powerline-gitstatus < 1.3.2
    Fixed in
    1.3.2· Vendor fix available
    Issue
    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.

    Recommended action: Upgrade to 1.3.2 or later, then redeploy and verify.A vendor fix does not resolve your finding until you verify it in your own systems.
