{"id":"GHSA-w67g-6gjv-c599","summary":"Powerline Gitstatus vulnerable to arbitrary code execution","details":"powerline-gitstatus (aka Powerline Gitstatus) before 1.3.2 allows arbitrary code execution. git repositories can contain per-repository configuration that changes the behavior of git, including running arbitrary commands. When using powerline-gitstatus, changing to a directory automatically runs git commands in order to display information about the current repository in the prompt. If an attacker can convince a user to change their current directory to one controlled by the attacker, such as in a shared filesystem or extracted archive, powerline-gitstatus will run arbitrary commands under the attacker's control. NOTE: this is similar to CVE-2022-20001.","aliases":["CVE-2022-42906","PYSEC-2026-898"],"modified":"2026-07-07T11:56:20.123796374Z","published":"2022-10-13T12:00:26Z","database_specific":{"cwe_ids":["CWE-77","CWE-94"],"severity":"HIGH","github_reviewed":true,"github_reviewed_at":"2022-10-13T19:13:14Z","nvd_published_at":"2022-10-13T03:15:00Z"},"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2022-42906"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/jaspernbrouwer/powerline-gitstatus/issues/45"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/jaspernbrouwer/powerline-gitstatus/commit/fe8e963b3489e4cceaa2c1f26f2bcc2ef405364c"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://github.com/jaspernbrouwer/powerline-gitstatus"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/jaspernbrouwer/powerline-gitstatus/releases/tag/v1.3.2"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://lists.debian.org/debian-lts-announce/2023/01/msg00017.html"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"powerline-gitstatus","ecosystem":"PyPI","purl":"pkg:pypi/powerline-gitstatus"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"1.3.2"}]}],"versions":["1.0.0","1.0.1","1.0.2","1.0.3","1.0.4","1.1.0","1.1.1","1.2.0","1.2.1","1.3.0","1.3.1"],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/github/advisory-database/blob/main/advisories/github-reviewed/2022/10/GHSA-w67g-6gjv-c599/GHSA-w67g-6gjv-c599.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H"}]}
