GHSA-pfpr-3463-c6jh

ruby-git has potential remote code execution vulnerability

Quick fix

GHSA-pfpr-3463-c6jh — git: upgrade to the fixed version with the command below.

bundle update git

Details

The git gem, between versions 1.2.0 and 1.12.0, incorrectly parsed the output of the `git ls-files` command using `eval()` to unescape quoted file names. If a file name was added to the git repository contained special characters, such as `\n`, then the `git ls-files` command would print the file name in quotes and escape any special characters. If the `Git#ls_files` method encountered a quoted file name it would use `eval()` to unquote and unescape any special characters, leading to potential remote code execution. Version 1.13.0 of the git gem was released which correctly parses any quoted file names.
