CVE-2024-22190

Summary

This issue exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2023-40590. On Windows, GitPython uses an untrusted search path if it uses a shell to run git, as well as when it runs bash.exe to interpret hooks. If either of those features are used on Windows, a malicious git.exe or bash.exe may be run from an untrusted repository.

Details

Although GitPython often avoids executing programs found in an untrusted search path since 3.1.33, two situations remain where this still occurs. Either can allow arbitrary code execution under some circumstances.

When a shell is used

GitPython can be told to run git commands through a shell rather than as direct subprocesses, by passing shell=True to any method that accepts it, or by both setting Git.USE_SHELL = True and not passing shell=False. Then the Windows cmd.exe shell process performs the path search, and GitPython does not prevent that shell from finding and running git in the current directory.

When GitPython runs git directly rather than through a shell, the GitPython process performs the path search, and currently omits the current directory by setting NoDefaultCurrentDirectoryInExePath in its own environment during the Popen call. Although the cmd.exe shell will honor this environment variable when present, GitPython does not currently pass it into the shell subprocess's environment.

Furthermore, because GitPython sets the subprocess CWD to the root of a repository's working tree, using a shell will run a malicious git.exe in an untrusted repository even if GitPython itself is run from a trusted location.

This also applies if Git.execute is called directly with shell=True (or after Git.USE_SHELL = True) to run any command.

When hook scripts are run

On Windows, GitPython uses bash.exe to run hooks that appear to be scripts. However, unlike when running git, no steps are taken to avoid finding and running bash.exe in the current directory.

This allows the author of an untrusted fork or branch to cause a malicious bash.exe to be run in some otherwise safe workflows. An example of such a scenario is if the user installs a trusted hook while on a trusted branch, then switches to an untrusted feature branch (possibly from a fork) to review proposed changes. If the untrusted feature branch contains a malicious bash.exe and the user's current working directory is the working tree, and the user performs an action that runs the hook, then although the hook itself is uncorrupted, it runs with the malicious bash.exe.

Note that, while bash.exe is a shell, this is a separate scenario from when git is run using the unrelated Windows cmd.exe shell.

PoC

On Windows, create a git.exe file in a repository. Then create a Repo object, and call any method through it (directly or indirectly) that supports the shell keyword argument with shell=True:

mkdir testrepo
git init testrepo
cp ... testrepo git.exe # Replace "..." with any executable of choice.
python -c "import git; print(git.Repo('testrepo').git.version(shell=True))"

The git.exe executable in the repository directory will be run.

Or use no Repo object, but do it from the location with the git.exe:

cd testrepo
python -c "import git; print(git.Git().version(shell=True))"

The git.exe executable in the current directory will be run.

For the scenario with hooks, install a hook in a repository, create a bash.exe file in the current directory, and perform an operation that causes GitPython to attempt to run the hook:

mkdir testrepo
cd testrepo
git init
mv .git/hooks/pre-commit.sample .git/hooks/pre-commit
cp ... bash.exe # Replace "..." with any executable of choice.
echo "Some text" >file.txt
git add file.txt
python -c "import git; git.Repo().index.commit('Some message')"

The bash.exe executable in the current directory will be run.

Impact

The greatest impact is probably in applications that set Git.USE_SHELL = True for historical reasons. (Undesired console windows had, in the past, been created in some kinds of applications, when it was not used.) Such an application may be vulnerable to arbitrary code execution from a malicious repository, even with no other exacerbating conditions. This is to say that, if a shell is used to run git, the full effect of CVE-2023-40590 is still present. Furthermore, as noted above, running the application itself from a trusted directory is not a sufficient mitigation.

An application that does not direct GitPython to use a shell to run git subprocesses thus avoids most of the risk. However, there is no such straightforward way to prevent GitPython from running bash.exe to interpret hooks. So while the conditions needed for that to be exploited are more involved, it may be harder to mitigate decisively prior to patching.

Possible solutions

A straightforward approach would be to address each bug directly:

  • When a shell is used, pass NoDefaultCurrentDirectoryInExePath into the subprocess environment, because in that scenario the subprocess is the cmd.exe shell that itself performs the path search.
  • Set NoDefaultCurrentDirectoryInExePath in the GitPython process environment during the Popen call made to run hooks with a bash.exe subprocess.

These need only be done on Windows.
