CVE-2022-24439 is an improper input-validation vulnerability in GitPython that affects versions before 3.1.30. GitPython passed clone-related user input to an external Git process without sufficiently sanitizing arguments. An attacker could supply a maliciously crafted remote URL that is interpreted as Git command-line option input, enabling invocation of an attacker-controlled Git helper and resulting in operating-system command execution.

This repository contains a proof-of-concept exploit for a local privilege escalation or arbitrary command execution vulnerability in a script called git_maintenance.py, likely part of a repo_manager tool. The exploit demonstrates how an attacker with sudo access to this script can inject a shell command via the 'ext::sh' argument to copy the root user's SSH private key to a world-readable location (/tmp/root_key). The attacker can then retrieve this key and use it to gain SSH access as root to the target system. The repository consists of a README and a text file (exploit.txt) that outlines the exploitation steps, including the payload and post-exploitation SSH access. No network endpoints are hardcoded, but the exploit targets local file paths and assumes the attacker can later use SSH to connect to the compromised system.
