Git Remote Code Execution (CVE-2025-48384)

A critical vulnerability in Git—CVE‑2025‑48384—is being actively exploited to achieve remote code execution. Developers and server administrators must update their environments immediately to prevent potential system compromise.
Git Remote Code Execution (CVE-2025-48384)

Overview

A recent CVE, CVE-2025-48384, affects Git repositories and tooling, allowing attackers to execute arbitrary code on systems where malicious Git content is cloned or processed. The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has added the vulnerability to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog, demanding emergency remediation.

Impact

  • Attackers can embed payloads in repositories so that simply cloning or fetching them triggers code execution.
  • Developers and CI/CD systems are particularly at risk.
  • This is a supply-chain style compromise, giving wide-reaching impact when used in build pipelines.

Mitigation Steps

  1. Update Git to the latest secure version, as provided by your OS or distribution.
  2. Audit and sanitize repository sources, especially before integration into build systems or shared environments.
  3. Harden CI pipelines: use sandboxed containers and strict permissions to limit execution capabilities.

ThreatGrid Takeaways

  • A compromised Git repo is a swift path to full environment compromise.
  • Supply chain hygiene– especially for code– must be a defensive priority.
  • Use safe defaults and sandboxing in developer tooling and CI systems.
