What is CVE-2024-52005?
A security vulnerability in Git involves improper handling of messages transported from a remote server during clone, fetch, or push operations. Malicious actors can exploit this flaw by leveraging ANSI escape sequences that are not adequately protected by Git. This could allow them to obscure genuine information or prompt users to execute untrusted scripts, posing a significant risk during collaborative development workflows. Users are advised to promptly update to the latest version and avoid recursive clones from untrusted sources to mitigate potential exploitation.
