{"id":"BIT-composer-2022-24828","summary":"Missing input validation can lead to command execution in composer","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.","aliases":["CVE-2022-24828","GHSA-x7cr-6qr6-2hh6"],"modified":"2026-09-08T08:45:57.053507075Z","published":"2024-03-06T10:51:15.586Z","database_specific":{"cpes":["cpe:2.3:a:getcomposer:composer:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*"],"severity":"High"},"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/composer/composer/commit/2c40c53637c5c7e43fff7c09d3d324d632734709"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/composer/composer/security/advisories/GHSA-x7cr-6qr6-2hh6"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-announce%40lists.fedoraproject.org/message/625MT3IKWKFVIWLSYZFSXHVUA2LES7YQ/"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-announce%40lists.fedoraproject.org/message/GWT6LDSRY7SFMTDZWJ4MS2ZBXHL7VQEF/"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-announce%40lists.fedoraproject.org/message/QD7JQWL6C4GVROO25DTXWYWM6BPOPPCG/"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://www.tenable.com/security/tns-2022-09"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2022-24828"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"composer","ecosystem":"Bitnami","purl":"pkg:bitnami/composer"},"ranges":[{"type":"SEMVER","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"1.10.26"},{"introduced":"2.0.0"},{"fixed":"2.2.12"},{"introduced":"2.3.0"},{"fixed":"2.3.5"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/bitnami/vulndb/tree/main/data/composer/BIT-composer-2022-24828.json"},"severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H"}]}],"schema_version":"1.9.0"}
