Security readout for executives and security teams

Plain-English summary

CVE-2022-25900 affects the npm package git-clone. A flaw in how it uses Git’s --upload-pack feature can allow command injection when vulnerable code processes unsafe input. Business risk is high where applications clone repositories based on user-controlled data or automated workflows.

Executive priority

Treat this as high priority where git-clone is reachable through automated or user-facing workflows. If the package is present only in unused tooling, urgency is lower but replacement should still be planned.

Technical view

All versions of git-clone are reported vulnerable to command injection through insecure --upload-pack usage. The CVSS 3.1 score is 8.1 with network attack vector, no privileges required, high complexity, and high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact.

Likely exposure

Exposure is most likely in Node.js projects that depend on git-clone and pass repository-related input from users, jobs, webhooks, APIs, or CI automation into clone operations.

Exploitation context

The source bundle does not show CISA KEV listing or confirmed active exploitation. Public references include Snyk and a gist, but the provided evidence does not establish real-world exploitation.

Researcher notes

The affected product is listed as git-clone, all versions. The CVE description attributes the issue to insecure --upload-pack usage. The bundle provides no CWE, no named patch version, and no confirmed exploitation evidence.

Mitigation direction

  • Inventory applications for direct or transitive git-clone dependency.
  • Check Snyk or package maintainer guidance for fixed or replacement options.
  • Avoid using git-clone with untrusted repository input.
  • Replace the dependency if no maintained safe version is available.
  • Restrict clone functionality to trusted sources where removal is not immediate.

Validation and detection

  • Search dependency manifests and lockfiles for git-clone.
  • Identify runtime code paths that call git-clone.
  • Determine whether attacker-controlled input reaches repository clone parameters.
  • Prioritize internet-facing, webhook-driven, or CI-triggered paths.
  • Confirm remediation with dependency scanning after changes.
