CVE-2022-25766: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in a Command ('Command Injection')

March 21, 2022 (updated August 8, 2023)

The package ungit before 1.5.20 is vulnerable to Remote Code Execution (RCE) via argument injection. The issue occurs when calling the /api/fetch endpoint. User controlled values (remote and ref) are passed to the git fetch command. By injecting some git options it was possible to get arbitrary command execution.
