Title
simple-git has blockUnsafeOperationsPlugin bypass via case-insensitive protocol.allow config key that enables RCE
Summary
`simple-git`, an interface for running git commands in any node.js application, has an issue in versions 3.15.0 through 3.32.2 that allows an attacker to bypass two prior CVE fixes (CVE-2022-25860 and CVE-2022-25912) and achieve full remote code execution on the host machine. Version 3.23.0 contains an updated fix for the vulnerability.

An attacker able to supply specially crafted repository URLs or arguments could exploit Git\u2019s ext:: protocol handler to execute arbitrary commands on the underlying system.\nThis flaw bypasses earlier mitigations intended to restrict unsafe Git protocols. By injecting configuration options that re-enable the ext:: protocol, an attacker could cause the application to execute arbitrary external commands through the Git client.\nIf a vulnerable application passes untrusted input to simple-git operations such as repository cloning or fetching, a remote attacker could exploit this flaw to execute arbitrary commands on the host system with the privileges of the application process."
