{"id":"ALPINE-CVE-2022-24828","details":"Composer is a dependency manager for the PHP programming language. Integrators using Composer code to call `VcsDriver::getFileContent` can have a code injection vulnerability if the user can control the `$file` or `$identifier` argument. This leads to a vulnerability on packagist.org for example where the composer.json's `readme` field can be used as a vector for injecting parameters into hg/Mercurial via the `$file` argument, or git via the `$identifier` argument if you allow arbitrary data there (Packagist does not, but maybe other integrators do). Composer itself should not be affected by the vulnerability as it does not call `getFileContent` with arbitrary data into `$file`/`$identifier`. To the best of our knowledge this was not abused, and the vulnerability has been patched on packagist.org and Private Packagist within a day of the vulnerability report.","modified":"2026-11-03T07:30:49.673623451Z","published":"2022-04-13T21:15:07.820Z","upstream":["CVE-2022-24828"],"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://security.alpinelinux.org/vuln/CVE-2022-24828"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"composer","ecosystem":"Alpine:v3.15","purl":"pkg:apk/alpine/composer?arch=source"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"2.0.0"},{"fixed":"2.2.12-r0"}]}],"ecosystem_specific":{},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/cve-osv-conversion/alpine/ALPINE-CVE-2022-24828.json"}},{"package":{"name":"composer","ecosystem":"Alpine:v3.16","purl":"pkg:apk/alpine/composer?arch=source"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"2.0.0"},{"fixed":"2.3.5-r0"}]}],"ecosystem_specific":{},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/cve-osv-conversion/alpine/ALPINE-CVE-2022-24828.json"}},{"package":{"name":"composer","ecosystem":"Alpine:v3.17","purl":"pkg:apk/alpine/composer?arch=source"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"2.0.0"},{"fixed":"2.3.5-r0"}]}],"ecosystem_specific":{},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/cve-osv-conversion/alpine/ALPINE-CVE-2022-24828.json"}},{"package":{"name":"composer","ecosystem":"Alpine:v3.18","purl":"pkg:apk/alpine/composer?arch=source"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"2.0.0"},{"fixed":"2.3.5-r0"}]}],"ecosystem_specific":{},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/cve-osv-conversion/alpine/ALPINE-CVE-2022-24828.json"}},{"package":{"name":"composer","ecosystem":"Alpine:v3.19","purl":"pkg:apk/alpine/composer?arch=source"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"2.0.0"},{"fixed":"2.3.5-r0"}]}],"ecosystem_specific":{},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/cve-osv-conversion/alpine/ALPINE-CVE-2022-24828.json"}},{"package":{"name":"composer","ecosystem":"Alpine:v3.20","purl":"pkg:apk/alpine/composer?arch=source"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"2.0.0"},{"fixed":"2.3.5-r0"}]}],"ecosystem_specific":{},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/cve-osv-conversion/alpine/ALPINE-CVE-2022-24828.json"}},{"package":{"name":"composer","ecosystem":"Alpine:v3.21","purl":"pkg:apk/alpine/composer?arch=source"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"2.0.0"},{"fixed":"2.3.5-r0"}]}],"ecosystem_specific":{},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/cve-osv-conversion/alpine/ALPINE-CVE-2022-24828.json"}},{"package":{"name":"composer","ecosystem":"Alpine:v3.22","purl":"pkg:apk/alpine/composer?arch=source"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"2.0.0"},{"fixed":"2.3.5-r0"}]}],"ecosystem_specific":{},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/cve-osv-conversion/alpine/ALPINE-CVE-2022-24828.json"}},{"package":{"name":"composer","ecosystem":"Alpine:v3.23","purl":"pkg:apk/alpine/composer?arch=source"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"2.0.0"},{"fixed":"2.3.5-r0"}]}],"ecosystem_specific":{},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/cve-osv-conversion/alpine/ALPINE-CVE-2022-24828.json"}},{"package":{"name":"composer","ecosystem":"Alpine:v3.24","purl":"pkg:apk/alpine/composer?arch=source"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"2.0.0"},{"fixed":"2.3.5-r0"}]}],"ecosystem_specific":{},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/cve-osv-conversion/alpine/ALPINE-CVE-2022-24828.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.2","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H"}]}
