CVE-2018-11235 created at 25 Sep 2019 19:31:40
Severity
+ Critical
Remote
+ Remote
Type
+ Arbitrary code execution
Description
+ A security issue has been found in git before 2.17.1. With a crafted .gitmodules file, a malicious project can execute an arbitrary script on a machine that runs "git clone --recurse-submodules" because submodule "names" are obtained from this file, and then appended to $GIT_DIR/modules, leading to directory traversal with "../" in a name. Finally, post-checkout hooks from a submodule are executed, bypassing the intended design in which hooks are not obtained from a remote server.
