CVE-2024-50349
MediumSummary
When Git asks for credentials via a terminal prompt (without using a credential helper), it prints the host name for which the credentials are requested. This may lead to unintended disclosure of the host name.
Risk Assessment
Risk of exposing infrastructure information, which may facilitate targeted attacks.
Recommendation
Update Git to a patched version and consider using credential helpers.
Other vulnerabilities in Git
See all- CVE-2017-14867High
Git versions before 2.10.5, 2.11.x before 2.11.4, 2.12.x before 2.12.5, 2.13.x before 2.13.6, and 2.14.x before 2.14.2 use unsafe Perl scripts to support subcommands, allowing attackers to execute arbitrary OS commands via shell metacharacters in a module name.
- CVE-2024-52006High
Git defines a line-based protocol used to exchange information between Git and Git credential helpers. Some ecosystems (most likely those using this protocol) may be vulnerable to attacks related to this protocol.
- CVE-2025-48385High
Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system. When cloning a repository Git knows to optionally fetch a bundle advertised by the remote server, which allows the server-side to offload.
- CVE-2015-7545Critical
In Git versions before 2.3.10, 2.4.x before 2.4.10, 2.5.x before 2.5.4, and 2.6.x before 2.6.1, there is a vulnerability that does not properly restrict allowed protocols in remote helper programs. This may allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a URL in a .gitmodules file or other unknown sources in a submodule.
- CVE-2016-2324Critical
Integer overflow in Git before version 2.7.4 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via (1) long filename or (2) many nested trees, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow.
- CVE-2016-2315Critical
In git versions before 2.7.4, there is a bug in revision.c that uses an incorrect integer data type. This allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via (1) long filenames or (2) many nested trees, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow.
- CVE-2026-93326Medium
A build step for a Git source, crafted in a specific way, can bypass some policy validation rules. A malicious build definition can make the repository look like it is coming from a different remote URL than it really is when Git clone is happening. If policy is doing more stricter validation, for example based on commit SHA, commit data, or signatures, then all these validations still apply correctly.
- CVE-2025-69160High
Gita versions up to 1.11 are vulnerable to unauthenticated local file inclusion.
Original NVD description (English source)
Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations and full access to internals. When Git asks for credentials via a terminal prompt (i.e. without using any credential helper), it prints out the host name for which
