EPSS · scored 2026-10-28

The gix-transport crate before 0.36.1 for Rust allows command execution via the "gix clone 'ssh://-oProxyCommand=open$IFS" substring. NOTE: this was discovered before CVE-2024-32884, a similar vulnerability (involving a username field) that is more difficult to exploit.

  • GHSA-rrjw-j4m2-mf34gix-transport code execution vulnerability2023-09-25ghsa · osvUS

    The `gix-transport` crate prior to the patched version 0.36.1 would allow attackers to use malicious ssh clone URLs to pass arbitrary arguments to the `ssh` program, leading to arbitrary code execution. PoC: `gix clone 'ssh://-oProxyCommand=open$IFS-aCalculator/foo'` This will launch a calculator on OSX. See https://secure.phabricator.com/T12961 for more details on similar vulnerabilities in `git`. Thanks for [vin01](https://github.com/vin01) for disclosing this issue.
