HighCVSS 8.8 · v3.0—Weaponized Fix available

Noroxi assessment

Priority: This week (action score 60/100)

  • A ready-made attack module is public (Metasploit); exploiting it takes no special expertise.
  • A ready-made attack tool exists and the flaw can be exploited over the network without an account, so priority is at least “This week”.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 77.8% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 99.5% of all records.
  • Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. No account or password is required. A user must open a link or visit a page. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • Fixed version: git (Alpine:v3.10) 2.14.1-r0; git (Alpine:v3.3) 2.8.6-r0; git (Alpine:v3.4) 2.8.6.

Don’t wait for the next maintenance window. Upgrade to git (Alpine:v3.10) 2.14.1-r0; git (Alpine:v3.3) 2.8.6-r0; git (Alpine:v3.4) 2.8.6 or later.

Generated automatically from the record's data: CVSS (NVD and CNA), CISA KEV and SSVC, FIRST EPSS, exploit sources, fixed versions. How we calculate it

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS

A malicious third-party can give a crafted "ssh://..." URL to an unsuspecting victim, and an attempt to visit the URL can result in any program that exists on the victim's machine being executed. Such a URL could be placed in the .gitmodules file of a malicious project, and an unsuspecting victim could be tricked into running "git clone --recurse-submodules" to trigger the vulnerability.
