AI-suggested
Avoid using the use-git-am: true option when processing untrusted manifests or source material. For builds involving untrusted sources, perform them inside disposable virtual machines or other isolated environments to contain potential exploitation. Red Hat has not indicated an official patch in the advisory; therefore, these mitigations are recommended until an official fix is available.
Description
A flaw was found in flatpak-builder where Git hooks are not disabled when applying patch sources with use-git-am: true. An attacker who can provide a malicious source containing a Git post-applypatch hook can cause the hook to execute on the host during the build process, resulting in arbitrary code execution with the privileges of the user running flatpak-builder.
