Git contains a vulnerability (CVE-2024-32465) that allows bypassing protections designed to safely clone untrusted repositories. This issue affects Git versions from 2.17.0 up to but not including 2.45.1. The vulnerability can lead to execution of malicious hooks or other harmful actions when cloning repositories obtained from untrusted sources, such as archives. The problem has been addressed in Git version 2.45.1 and several earlier patch releases. Users are advised to avoid using Git in repositories obtained via archives from untrusted sources as a temporary mitigation.
