HighCVSS 8.8
Published: Updated: Translated: NVD NIST

Exploitation Probability (EPSS)

Elevated risk
1.06%

61th percentile - higher than 61% of all known CVEs

Summary

Versions of the package degit before 2.8.6, from 3.0.0 and before 3.3.1 are vulnerable to Command Injection due to improper sanitisation of user input for git shell commands directly invoked with exec() method by _cloneWithGit() and fetchRefs() functions. An attacker can execute arbitrary operating system commands as the process user by supplying a specially crafted git repository name.

Risk Assessment

An attacker can remotely execute arbitrary system commands on the server, potentially leading to full system compromise.

Recommendation

Update degit to version 2.8.6 or later (for 2.x branch) or to version 3.3.1 or later (for 3.x branch).
