Visual Studio Remote Code Execution Vulnerability
.NET and Visual Studio Remote Code Execution Vulnerability
.NET, .NET Framework, and Visual Studio Remote Code Execution Vulnerability
Description The Git credential protocol is text-based over standard input/output, and consists of a series of lines of key-value pairs in the format key=value. Git's documentation restricts the use of the NUL (\0) character and newlines to form part of the keys[^1] or values.
When Git reads from standard input, it considers both LF and CRLF[^2] as newline characters for the credential protocol by virtue of calling strbufgetline that calls to strbufgetdelimstripcrlf. Git also validates that a newline is not present in the value by checking for the presence of the line-feed character (LF, \n), and errors if this is the case. This captures both LF and CRLF-type newlines.
Git Credential Manager uses the .NET standard library StreamReader class to read the standard input stream line-by-line and parse the key=value credential protocol format. The implementation of the ReadLineAsync method considers LF, CRLF, and CR as valid line endings. This is means that .NET considers a single CR as a valid newline character, whereas Git does not.
This mismatch of newline treatment between Git and GCM means that an attacker can craft a malicious remote URL such as:
https://\rhost=targethost@badhost
..which will be interpreted by Git as:
protocol=https host=badhost username=\rhost=targethost
This will instead be parsed by GCM as if the following has been passed by Git:
protocol=https host=badhost username= host=targethost
This results in the host field being resolved to the targethost value. GCM will then return a credential for targethost to Git, which will then send this credential to the badhost host.
Impact When a user clones or otherwise interacts[^3] with a malicious repository that requires authentication, the attacker can capture credentials for another Git remote. The attack is also heightened when cloning from repositories with submodules when using the --recursive clone option as the user is not able to inspect the submodule remote URLs beforehand.
Patches https://github.com/git-ecosystem/git-credential-manager/compare/749e287571c78a2b61f926ccce6a707050871ab8...99e2f7f60e7364fe807e7925f361a81f3c47bd1b
Workarounds Only interacting with trusted remote repositories, and do not clone with --recursive to allow inspection of any submodule URLs before cloning those submodules.
Fixed versions This issue is fixed as of version 2.6.1.
[^1]: The = character is also forbidden to form part of the key. [^2]: Carriage-return character (CR, \r), followed by a line-feed character. [^3]: Any remote operation such as fetch, ls-remote, etc.

Visual Studio Tools for Office Runtime Spoofing Vulnerability
.NET, .NET Framework, and Visual Studio Remote Code Execution Vulnerability
Visual Studio Information Disclosure Vulnerability
Git for Windows, the Windows port of Git, ships with an executable called connect.exe, which implements a SOCKS5 proxy that can be used to connect e.g. to SSH servers via proxies when certain ports are blocked for outgoing connections. The location of connect.exe's config file is hard-coded as /etc/connectrc which will typically be interpreted as C:\etc\connectrc. Since C:\etc can be created by any authenticated user, this makes connect.exe susceptible to malicious files being placed there by other users on the same multi-user machine. The problem has been patched in Git for Windows v2.40.1. As a workaround, create the folder etc on all drives where Git commands are run, and remove read/write access from those folders. Alternatively, watch out for malicious <drive>:\etc\connectrc files on multi-user machines.
Git for Windows is the Windows port of Git. Prior to version 2.40.1, any user of Git CMD who starts the command in an untrusted directory is impacted by an Uncontrolles Search Path Element vulnerability. Maliciously-placed doskey.exe would be executed silently upon running Git CMD. The problem has been patched in Git for Windows v2.40.1. As a workaround, avoid using Git CMD or, if using Git CMD, avoid starting it in an untrusted directory.
A vulnerability was found in Git. This security flaw occurs when renaming or deleting a section from a configuration file, where certain malicious configuration values may be misinterpreted as the beginning of a new configuration section. This flaw leads to arbitrary configuration injection.
