CVE-2024-35186Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Code execution via unchecked checkout paths

Published May 23, 2024 · Updated Aug 2, 2024

Relative path traversal in GitoxideLabs gitoxide before 0.36.0 allows remote attackers to write files outside a cloned working tree. The gix-worktree-state checkout path accepts crafted tree or blob names without confirming that the resolved destination remains inside the worktree. Exploitation requires cloning an untrusted repository; crafted .git paths can install hooks that later execute with the cloning user's privileges.
